Thankful Thursday: Gratitude and Writing Grititude a List

Istijlál (Majesty), 16 Bahá (Splendor) 175 B.E. - Thursday, April 5, 2018

"To express his gratitude for the favors of God, man must show forth praiseworthy actions. In response to these bestowals he must render good deeds, be self-sacrificing, loving the servants of God, ...Showing kindness to all the creatures. Whatsoever he wishes to do must be in harmony with the good pleasure of God. He must observe and see what is the will of God and act accordingly."

Abdu'l-Baha1

Gratitude

Gratitude expressed
through actions and not just words:
prayer shown in acts of kindness.

Writing a Gratitude List:
A Poem

Action is an expression
of gratitude that ascends
to the throne of God.

Writing a list
is a form of action
that focuses body, mind, and soul.

Hands on the keyboard
are connected to mind and soul,
writing a gratitude list.
