In a world that often feels heavy or uncertain, gratitude can feel like a small thing — but in truth, it’s one of the most powerful spiritual forces we have. Gratitude is more than a warm feeling or polite response. It is an active, creative principle that awakens the light within us and expands whatever it touches. Drawing from the Parable of the Talents, B.K.S. Iyengar’s Light on Life, and New Thought teachings, Rev. Dr. Johanna van Gelder explores gratitude as a sacred participation in life. When we use the gifts we’ve been entrusted with — our talents, our breath, our compassion, our awareness — we multiply good in our lives and in the world. Join us for a heartfelt, peaceful, and uplifting experience as we reconnect with our inner light and learn how gratitude can guide us back to strength, clarity, and divine trust.
