For Ignatius, gratitude is the first, most important step on the spiritual journey. An attitude of gratitude, practiced often enough, helps us find God in all things and can transform the way we look at our life and at other people. So review the day and name the blessings, from the most significant and obvious to the more common and ordinary. God (not the devil) is found in the details, so be very specific! As you take stock, honor the gifts of others in your life, but dont forget to recognize the gifts in you, for they, too, are God given. Dont feel that you must mechanically go through the day hour by hour or make a list of all the days gifts. Instead, savor whatever gifts God shows you. With Gods gentle guidance, let the day go through you. --Excerpted from Kevin OBrien, SJs The Ignatian Adventure.
