Pathways to Gratitude: Dreaming God’s Dream

No dream too big, no gift too small:

What if the best response to the noisy, chaotic world today isn't fear, but hope? And what if the key to unlocking that hope were to see more clearly the enormous potential we have to dream God’s dream and join our many, diverse gifts together? This is the wisdom found throughout our faith stories. It is the core of Jesus’ profound and prophetic parable of the Mustard Seed (Matthew 13:31–32), and the heart of the Apostle Paul’s inspiring message that God works in and through us to accomplish "abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine" (Ephesians 3:20–21). This Sunday, we are completing our journey of gratitude. Gratitude naturally opens our hearts, minds, and eyes to listen more deeply for God’s Spirit calling us to nourish the seeds of hope God has already planted.
