We live an era of abundance and can forget how to celebrate what God has given us. Pastor Chris continues in the third week of lent by inviting us to slow down in gratitude. He reminds us that as we feast on Sundays, to do so with a posture of intention, presence, and thankfulness.

Reflection
Pastor Chris invited us to be attentive to places that we have a tendency to grow hard hearted. Pay attention to the signs:
Do you see only problems, and ignore blessings?
Watch what you say! Complaining can be contagious, and de-centers us from a place of gratitude.
Are there circumstances in which we are slow to seek and embrace empathy? Without empathy, we quickly default to cynical judgement.
