Gratitude creates a space within us in which we receive and celebrate life as a gift to be savored here and now. -Kathy Hendricks

“Perhaps the greatest gift we can give ourselves is a pause to bravely face the revelation of God in the still, small tones God frequently uses. The murmuring of God invites us to abandon our tendency to run away, and instead, to step into silence and behold an answer to our needs.” -Nicki Verplogen
