"The gift list
is thinking upon His goodness -- and this,
this pleases Him most!
And most profits my own soul and I am beginning, only beginning, to know it. If clinging to His goodness is the highest form of prayer, then this seeing His goodness with a pen, with a shutter, with a word of thanks, these really are the most sacred acts conceivable. The ones anyone can conceive, anywhere, in the midst of anything.
Eucharisteo takes us into His love. I am struck and I long chime: Daniel is only a man of prayer because he is a man of thanks, and the only way to be a woman of prayer is to
be a woman of thanks. And not sporadic, general thanks, but three times a day
eucharisteo." --Ann Voskamp,
One Thousand Gifts (ch 3)
(eleven: early morning light for using my shutter to see His goodness...)
"But the only words that really matter? Are the ones I live. This convicts me.." --Ann Voskamp
