From A Network for Grateful Living:
"Peace, rightly understood, is inseparable from gratefulness. When we are grateful, we peacefully accept what is.
As long as we are merely thankful, we give thanks for what we perceive to be beneficial, but there always remains the lurking fear that something harmful may come our way instead.
To be grateful is more. It is our courageous trust that life itself --kind or harsh, happy or sad -- is good, if only we receive it as gift.
The moment we trust in this truth, we are at peace. A person at peace will serve as an agent of peace in the world."
