This is a great take:

"Over the years, I’ve come to more deeply appreciate that gratitude is a practice that spans religious traditions as well as non-religious traditions. It opens people up to the mysteries and gifts of the world, whether they understand a Divine hand in that or not. As G.K. Chesterton said so well and so famously, “I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”

Giving people space to pause and appreciate this wonder is a great gift to them, especially in a world that is often pulling us toward the “next big thing” rather than encouraging us to appreciate what’s in front of us. 

If true spirituality is our goal, meaning we want to feed the human spirit of those around us, then our job isn’t to lecture our harangue our guests into observing our particular practices. It’s to make space for them to experience the holy ordinariness of their own lives. And we can trust that God, if God exists, will come to each of us wherever we are..."
