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.
Faith thanks God in the middle of the story.
Are stress and worry evidence of a soul too lazy, too undisciplined, to keep gaze fixed on God?
Isn't falling in love always the fullest life?
Only speak words that make souls stronger.
I think God calls us to small things, to faithfulness right where we are, to just do the next thing.
