life-changing thanks asks
...life change comes when we receive life with thanks and ask for nothing to change.

Life is so urgent it necessitates living slow.
moments full-life
I only live the full life when I live fully in the moment.
gratitude simple hard-life
Gratitude is at the center of a life of faith. It sounds to simple to be true, but isn't that the sign of all deep truth: so simple we're tempted to dismiss it, and so hard, it is exactly what God uses to change our hard lives.

I have lived pain, and my life can tell: I only deepen the wound of the world when I neglect to give thanks the heavy perfume of wild roses in early July and the song of crickets on summer humid nights and the rivers that run and the stars that rise and the rain that falls and all the good things that a good God gives.
empty fast patient writer
I'm not a fast writer at all. I come empty and wait upon the Lord. So it really is all a waiting process, a patient process.
bore boring deep heart hole romantics
The real romantics are the boring ones - they let another heart bore a hole deep into theirs.
gratitude fall garden
Our [people's] very saving is associated with our gratitude. Which follows: if our fall in the garden was ingratitude, then salvation must be intimately related to giving of thanks.
