"People will
die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the
powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of
Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these sings
begin to happen, stand erect and raise your hands because your redemption
is at hand"
- Lk 21:26-28

Thank you for your generosity
It is God who gives me time.
So in gratitude, I give some of my time to God.
It is God who gives me the skills I have.
So in Gratitude I make sure that I give away some of my abilities
for God's good work.
It is God who gives me possessions.
So, in gratitude, I give some off the top to God.
Gratitude, thanksgiving is at the heart of our relationship to God.
