More quotes by Ann Voskamp

Ann Voskamp
Are stress and worry evidence of a soul too lazy, too undisciplined, to keep gaze fixed on God?
Ann Voskamp
Christian hands never clasp and He doesn't give gifts for gain because a gift can never stop being a gift - it is always meant to be given.
Ann Voskamp
God gives the world enough of what it needs. All He asks is that we distribute what He gives.

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. Isn’t that the catalyst of all my sins? Our fall was, has always been, and always will be, that we aren’t satisfied in God and what He gives. We hunger for something more, something other.
Ann Voskamp
In counting gifts, to one thousand, more, I discover that slapping a sloppy brush of thanksgiving over everything in my life leaves me deeply thankful for very few things in my life.
Ann Voskamp
Fullness of joy is discovered only in the emptying of will.
Ann Voskamp
Until we call attention to the moments of our lives, we miss our lives.
Ann Voskamp
I fly to Paris and discover how to make love to God.
Ann Voskamp
Life-changing gratitude does not fasten to a life unless nailed through with one very specific nail at a time.
Ann Voskamp
Pick up a yardstick to measure your life against anyone else's, and you've just picked up a stick and beaten up your own soul.
Ann Voskamp
God gives gifts and I give thanks and I unwrap the gift given: joy.
