Nothing is a given...everything is a gift

"What has wounded you? What is keeping your hands closed? How do you fill with hope and empty of hurt? How do you open up your hands and take the dare to fully live? Closed to grace? How do I wake up to grace and joy? It is a choice. Can we live with loss, and still choose to say yes to God's grace? Deep joy is found only at the table of thanksgiving. Thanksgiving always precedes the miracle. Hands open wide in gratitude for the moment. Dare to name all the ways that God loves you. At all times, at all times, thank God." Beautiful Ann Voskamp writes the beautiful blog A Holy Experience. Please watch this video to be inspired to live a life of thanksgiving. Then, go to her blog and learn about "plucking feathers, making thanksgiving your default, unyielding gratitude to God, nothing is a given...everything is a gift." http://www.aholyexperience.com/
