joy {awaken to His presence}...

taken from cfhusband, written by his wife, tricia, who desperately needs our prayers right now as her lungs are very ill...

"Feeling at my weakest now. But I need to be reminded of the grace in my life & of God's goodness. Thankful for this lesson from the Jesus Calling, 'Thank Me for the very things that are troubling you. You are tempted to indulge in just a little complaining about My treatment of you. The best protection against this indulgence is thanksgiving. It is impossible to thank Me and curse Me at the same time...your thankful words, prayed in faith, will eventually make a difference in your heart. Thankfulness awakens you to My Presence, which overshadows all your problems.'"

joy {from other's words}...

"I will not desecrate this moment with ignorant hurry or sordid ingratitude...I will not profane His offer of joy with jaded pessimism." ~ Ann Voskamp
