Ann Voskamp Grateful Quotations

Life-changing gratitude does not fasten to a life unless nailed through with one very specific nail at a time.

Being joyful isn't what makes you grateful. Being grateful is what makes you joyful.

Gratitude for the seemingly insignificant—a seed—this plants the giant miracle.

We were made to live in a posture of grateful worship, and when we live in praise we live our purpose, and all the pieces fall in place, us all falling down in thanks.

Research actually indicates that if you write down what you're grateful for, it increases your happiness by 25%. And who doesn't want that? And God's word says (1 Thessalonians 5), "Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." Who doesn't want to know exactly what God's will is for them?

I don't think of myself as an author. But simply as a grateful child of God. John 3:27 has long been a life verse: "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven." Any more words will only be solely a gift from Him. I can only faithfully wait.
