"This giving thanks--this is what we are made for: To give Him more glory. More thanks. This is more joy!" -Ann Voskamp
There is joy in accepting what God gives. It doesn't matter what the gift may be...a blessing or something that looks like a curse. Even the curses become blessings if we will just give thanks for them. The road to joy is paved with gratitude...
