Gratitude is the ability to experience life as a gift. It liberates us from the prison of self-preoccupation.
John OrtbergWhat matters is not the accomplishments you achieve; what matters is the person you become.
John OrtbergThe soul seeks God with its whole being. Because it is desperate to be whole, the soul is God-smitten and God-crazy and God-obsessed. My mind may be obsessed with idols; my will may be enslaved to habits; my body may be consumed with appetites. But my soul will never find rest until it rests in God.
