The true Love Dare. To move into His presence and listen to His love unending and know the grace uncontainable. This is the vault of the miracles. The only thing that can change us, the world, is this- all His love.

Ann Voskamp
Holy joy lies in the habit of murmuring thanks to God for the smallest of graces.
Ann Voskamp
Without God’s Word as a lens, the world warps

Our [people's] very saving is associated with our gratitude. Which follows: if our fall in the garden was ingratitude, then salvation must be intimately related to giving of thanks.

Maybe the woman who was handed the book [One Thousand Gifts] by a friend the morning before she had an abortion scheduled - and read the book and realized that this pregnancy that she didn't want - perhaps it too could be a gift from God? And then she said showed me the photo of this laughing 5 month old boy.

I began [blogging] because I have this handicap - I can't figure out my life or see God clearly unless I untangle my life again with words.
Ann Voskamp
Worry is the facade of taking action when prayer really is.
Ann Voskamp
Satan's sin becomes the first sin of all humanity: the sin of ingratitude. Adam and Eve are, simply, painfully ungrateful for what God gave.
