“I don't think of myself as an author. But simply as a grateful child of God. John 3:27 has long been a life verse: "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven." Any more words will only be solely a gift from Him. I can only faithfully wait.” ThinkingMenChildrenLongHas BeensI CanGivenHeavenWaitingGratefulVersesChild Of God Author:Ann Voskamp
“We sometimes think that being grateful is what we do after our problems are solved, but how terribly shortsighted that is. How much of life do we miss by waiting to see the rainbow before thanking God that there is rain? Being grateful in times of distress does not mean that we are pleased with our circumstances. It does mean that through the eyes of faith we look beyond our present-day challenges. This is not a gratitude of the lips but of the soul. It is a gratitude that heals the heart and expands the mind.” ThinkingMindLooksHeartMeanDoeSoulSometimesProblemEyeWaitingChallengesMissingCircumstancesGratitudeRainGratefulLipsHealThank GodRainbowDistressBe GratefulPresent DayThrough The Eyes Author:Dieter F.

“I'm always very grateful for stories about the great coffeehouse wits in Vienna at the turn of the last century. People would wait for a chance to stand near the table where the great wits were trading witticisms as a spectator sport because it was that good. They were that on fire and there was no product. They didn't write anything down. It was just the pleasure of engagement with the moment.

“Sometimes we forget to be grateful until we survive a trauma. For example, after having the flu when you ache all over, throw up for hours, and have little people pounding in your head with hammers, it is sheer bliss just to eat a piece of toast, walk outside without getting dizzy, and breathe fresh air. Part of the journey toward joy involves not waiting around for trouble, but being continuously aware of our blessings.” PeopleLittlesSometimesJoyWaitingHoursWalksForgetPiecesTroubleAirJourneyExampleGratitudeBlessingGratefulTraumaBreatheBlissSheerBe GratefulAcheHammersFluToastsFresh AirDizzyWaiting Around Author:Charlotte Sophia Kasl
