My liturgics professor would say to bring that gratitude to the Eucharist. When we offer fullhearted thanksgiving of ourselves, soul and body, we are giving back to God what God has given us. In this, we reverse stories like Darfur and Burma and the general ingratitude of humankind through Christ's body and blood given for "the life of the world." I realize that this will not stop the atrocities of the world--but it is a very meaningful way for you to express your gratitude.
You won't believe how appropriate Sunday's sermon, which I heard just after I posted that, was to my feelings that morning. It was based on that text in Matthew (or Mark?--I think Matthew) about not worrying, and it was spot on. Tim and I both loved it.
