Gratitude That Changes Us

On Sunday, Rev. Michael Auch invited us to look at gratitude as a spiritual power, something that can change us, along with the world around us.

These are powerful statements about prosperity — and all forms of abundance. It starts in our minds. He talked about the difference between spending and investing , not just in money but in our energy and attention.
