Summary
Gratitude helps us shift our focus from our troubles to the blessings God has provided. Jeff Cavins reflects on the story of Jesus cleansing the ten lepers from Luke 17 and the profound lesson it teaches us about gratitude. Jeff offers us ten ways to cultivate a grateful heart, such as keeping a record of God's faithfulness, looking for blessings in the mundane, and participating fully in the Eucharist.
Gratitude doesn't change God, but it will change you.*
