“Eucharisteo—thanksgiving—always precedes the miracle.”

“Is the height of my chara joy dependent on the depths of my eucharisteo thanks?”

“The practice of giving thanks...eucharisteo...this is the way we practice the presence of God, stay present to His presence, and it is always a practice of the eyes. We don't have to change what we see. Only the way we see.”

“Thanksgiving creates abundance.”

“We only enter into the full life if our faith gives thanks. Because how else do we accept His free gift of salvation if not with thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is the evidence of our acceptance of whatever He gives. Thanksgiving is the manifestation of our Yes! to His grace.”

“Thanksgiving-giving thanks in everything-prepares the way that God might show us His fullest salvation in Christ.”

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