Grace is alive, living waters. If I dam up the grace, hold the blessings tight, joy within dies... waters that have no life.

I don't really want more time I just want enough time. Time to breathe deep and time to see real and time to laugh long, time to give You glory and rest deep and sing joy and just enough time in a day not to feel hounded, pressed, driven, or wild to get it all done-yesterday.

Giving thanks is that: making the canyon of pain into a megaphone to proclaim the ultimate goodness of God when Satan and all the world would sneer at us to recant.
Ann Voskamp
Image
We were made to live in a posture of grateful worship, and when we live in praise we live our purpose, and all the pieces fall in place, us all falling down in thanks.

When we fixate on the worst in something, we render ourselves incapable of fixing anything... But attend to the good in something - and we act towards the best in everything.

Our fall is always first a failure to give thanks.

God gives the world enough of what it needs. All He asks is that we distribute what He gives.

The frame of a soul was never made for fame. The frame of a soul was made to serve.

Joy and pain, they are but two arteries of the one heart that pumps through all those who don't numb themselves to really living.
