From the Publisher
Gratefulness is about prayer and about gratitude. It is also about awareness.
And out ability to see into things, discovering the grace that awaits
us in everyday life. When we bless things simply because they are, we
live life in its fullness. David Steindl-Rast has written a book that
must not only be read, but ought to be read again and again as we discover
the intermingling of our reality and God’s grace. It contains
a simple message, but like all simple sounds it can reverberate in our
hearts, constantly enriching and enlightening us.
