"Thanksgiving doesn't depend on the way you feel moment by moment, nor is it a polite courtesy. Your urgent duty is to respond in gratitude to all that God has done and is doing for you. To be grateful is to recognize God's hand on everything that touches your life. Every breath you draw is a gift of His love; every moment of existence is a gift of grace, for it brings with it other immense graces from God. Gratitude takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly aware of new wonders, and praises the goodness of God. Those who are grateful know that God is good not by hearsay but by experience."
I stole this quote from Shane and Wendy's Blog. I have been reading about their journey through international adoption. They have had to be very patient and trusting of God and recently posted this quote on their blog. I thought it was so good, I would share it too. If you get a chance, read their blog and say a prayer for them.
