Life's Daily Blessings

Inspiring Reflections on Gratitude and Joy for Every Day, Based on Jewish Wisdom

By Olitzky, Kerry M.

Publishers Summary:
Wake up to the divine abundance that is all around you! This inspirational companion helps you recognize God's gifts in the everyday world around you. For each day of the year, an inspiring quote from a Jewish source and a personal reflection on it help you focus on your spiritual life and all the things you have to be grateful for. Using both the secular and Jewish calendar as a framework, this daily devotional helps you honor the special and holy events of the year as well as identify the sacred in the mundane moments of your life. It draws on the wisdom of Jewish sources and teachings, and ancient and contemporary spiritual thinkers, to gain perspective on the abundance that is all around you--in your achievements and challenges, relationships and personal time, joy and suffering, job and home. It will help you elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary every day of the year. Praise for Rabbi Kerry M.

Kirk Stevan Smith, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona "Imbues ritual with spirit.... Weaves the personal, the spiritual, and the practical together in a lovely tapestry of meaning." --Rabbi Karyn D. Kedar, senior rabbi, Congregation B'nai Jehoshua Beth Elohim; author, The Bridge to Forgiveness: Stories and Prayers for Finding God and Restoring Wholeness
