Mealtime is a moment to give thanks—a collection of 365 blessings
that “traverses all spiritual traditions.”—Library Journal
Today there is a deep hunger for connection with ourselves, with
nature, and with others, says life coach and New York
Times-bestselling author of Attitudes of Gratitude M. J. Ryan. What A
Grateful Heart offers, from a wide variety of spiritual disciplines
and secular perspectives, is a way of satisfying that hunger by
setting aside time before we eat to acknowledge the blessings in our
lives. When we give thanks, we take our place in the great wheel of
life, recognizing our connection to one another and to all of
creation. Reclaim and enrich the tradition of pausing before the
evening meal to give thanks. Drawing from a range of religious and
cultural practices, the 365 blessings in this book celebrate
friendship, love, peace, reconciliation, the body, nature, joy, and
appreciation of the moment. This illustrated feast for the mind
includes quotations from Martin Luther King Jr., Thich Nhat Hanh,
Gandhi, Rumi, Mother Teresa, Helen Keller, Denise Levertov, the Bible,
and the Tao Te Ching, among many others. M.J. Ryan wrote A Grateful
Heart to encourage families to share the experience of being part of
something greater than themselves. With that in mind, the book
includes 365 traditional and nontraditional blessings organized into
four sections corresponding to the seasons.
