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 VoskampIf the Church is a body, and the body is a business, isn't that the same thing as prostitution?
Ann VoskampMaybe the woman who was handed the book [One Thousand Gifts] by a friend the morning before she had an abortion scheduled - and read the book and realized that this pregnancy that she didn't want - perhaps it too could be a gift from God? And then she said showed me the photo of this laughing 5 month old boy.
Ann VoskampI think God calls us to small things, to faithfulness right where we are, to just do the next thing.
