I am re-reading One Thousand Gifts for the third time–the second being immediately after I finished it the first time.  Have I told you how much this book has changed my life? 😉  And I keep coming across things I want to quote here . . . but it wouldn’t really be fair to Ann Voskamp for me to do that, would it?  If you haven’t read it yet, you really must.  I haven’t yet come across anyone who hasn’t been so glad to have read it.

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.   ~Sarah Ban Breathnach
