God’s not out to get you - He’s out to give to you.

Eucharisteo—thanksgiving—always precedes the miracle.

I know the theological answers, but do my blood and my pulse?

The greatest compliment of the book [One Thousand Gifts]? Maybe the Muslim man in Iraq who was given the book and came to a saving knowledge of Jesus, wanted to live his life in thanks to God?

And when I give thanks for the seemingly microscopic, I make a place for God to grow within me.

I think God calls us to small things, to faithfulness right where we are, to just do the next thing.

The bravest love is wildly faithful and it falls hard again every morning... It knows what we seek may be found in what we already have... it's grace and fresh gratitude that can make us strong enough to marvel in the seeming monotony of anything... And the happily married have eyes that look long enough to make the familiar new.
