"Thanksgiving only becomes thanksliving when joy in the blessings given from above — overflows into the blessings given all around.
Thanksgiving only becomes thanksliving when the thanks for His vertical, coming-down grace — is expressed as a horizontal, reaching-out grace.
Thanksgiving only becomes thanksliving — when thanksgiving to God overflows into a joy of giving.
The joy of giving thanks – is ultimately expressed in the joy of giving."
from Ann Voskamp, "One Thousand Gifts"
And this .......was powerful too.

A while back a friend let me borrow that book to read. I haven't picked it up. After reading the quote, I'm looking forward to getting started.
Merry Christmas!
