27: The Roots of Ingratitude

"… by complaining I shall not make myself deserve to receive more, but shall become unworthy of what I have received…."

This week, I am reading a quote from On Benefits by Seneca the Younger, published in 59 AD.

Reflection Questions:

  • Have we noticed signs of self-esteem, greed or jealousy slipping into our thinking when we consider our donors or donors to other organizations?

  • What are ways you can lean into gratitude this week?
