112 Grace and Gratitude: The Holiness of Life
There comes a moment in every life when the only authentic prayer left is “thank you.” Not because everything is perfect, but because something deep within us begins to see life through a different lens. We begin to recognize the holiness that has always been present — even in the places we once feared, resisted, or tried to avoid.
This is the essence of grace and gratitude.
Grace is not something we earn. It is the atmosphere we live in. It is the holy intelligence that breathes us, repairs us, and gently holds our lives together in ways our minds may never fully comprehend. Gratitude is the awareness that turns toward that grace and says, I see You.
During my near-death experience, I was given what many call a life review. There was no shame. No punishment. No tally of mistakes. Only revelation — the recognition of how deeply connected we all are. Every choice, every breath, every moment is part of a larger tapestry of spirit, body, compassion, and cause and effect. We are woven into one another. We always were.
To realize this is to understand that life is holy — not perfect, but holy. Gratitude is not a spiritual performance. It is not forcing ourselves to “stay positive.” Genuine gratitude does not bypass sorrow or difficulty. Instead, it makes room for them. It allows life to be life.
When we practice gratitude, we allow ourselves to feel the full spectrum of being human. The joy. The grief. The confusion. The stillness. The unknown. Gratitude whispers: This, too, belongs. There is grace here, even if I cannot yet see it.
This subtle shift changes everything. We begin to notice the sacred in the ordinary:
– The light across a kitchen table
– The way your chest rises as you breathe
– The warmth of a hand in yours
– The quiet courage it takes simply to continue.
We start recognizing grace in the places we once overlooked. We begin to thank our bodies for carrying us. Thank our hearts for opening again after closing. Thank our spirits for continuing to seek meaning, truth, and connection.
Gratitude slows us down. Grace holds us while we do. When we live with gratitude, life itself becomes a prayer. Not a prayer to fix, achieve, or overcome — but a prayer of presence. A prayer of recognition.
You are here, breathing, in a world that continues to move, break open, rebuild, and awaken. You are part of that awakening.
So today, please place your hand on your heart.
Feel the ancient rhythm.
The life that has never left you.
The grace that has never stopped holding you.
Whisper:
Thank you for my life.
Thank you for this moment.
Thank you for the mystery that carries me.
And let that be enough.
With love,
