“In ordinary life, we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.”
Quote by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906 -1945) was a German Lutheran pastor, theologian, anti-Nazi dissident, and key founding member of the Confessing Church. His writings on Christianity’s role in the secular world have become widely influential, and his book The Cost of Discipleship is described as a modern classic. He died in Flossenburg Concentration camp, Germany.
REFLECTION:
- Examining your life, do you receive more than you give?
- How can you practice more gratitude?
- Make a list of all the things you have received recently. If so inclined, draw a T Bar and list Give on one side and Receive on the other. Complete the list. Say THANK YOU!
