Beforeword: True abundance isn’t measured by what we have but by how we see. Abundance in gratitude is a shift from a mindset of lack, opening our eyes to the richness of God’s provision all around us.

Abundance is the morning light, spilling through my window,
a whispered promise in the quiet
like mercy, it comes again.
Abundance is the breath I breathe,
easy, unworried, full and free,
pulse of grace—
the gift unearned yet freely given to me.
Abundance is the laughter shared,
the hand outstretched, the love that stays,
the meal made warm, the prayer made whole,
the kindness woven through my days.
It isn’t wealth, it isn’t store—
not counted coins nor things possessed,
but how my heart receives
in simple joys, in peace, in rest.
Here I stand with open hands,
not grasping tight but ebb and flow,
for what God gives is always full—
enough to take, enough to sow.
The challenge: How to participate
