“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.
REFLECTION:
- Have your received more than you have given?
- Write down a list of things you are grateful for.
- What “riches” do you possess that you can be grateful for?
