The ECW's United Thank Offering (UTO) Team of the Diocese of Virginia invites you to join a new Facebook group called Practitioners of Gratitude.
Find us on Facebook, join, and then simply share a brief reflection on
moments for which you are, or have been, thankful during COVID-19. Your
simple reflection has the power to significantly increase your
well-being and your connection to God.
Gratitude is a thankful appreciation for what we receive,
whether tangible or intangible. With gratitude, we acknowledge the
goodness in our lives and the very source of that goodness: our amazing
God.
The practice of gratitude helps us experience more positive
emotions, relish good experiences, feel more alive, improve our health,
deal with adversity, express more compassion and kindness, and build
stronger relationships. Practitioners of Gratitude will tell you that
the overflow of gratitude is contentment. Realizing God's abundant
goodness, even on the hard days, is a gateway for joy.
Post your gratitude entry in our online, easy to find
Facebook journal today and please consider making a gift of any amount
to the United Thank Offering. 100% of what is collected this year will
be given away to support Episcopal/Anglican ministries directly
responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn. Be sure to
note that your donation is from the Diocese of Southern Virginia. https://unitedthankoffering.com/give
