isn’t joy the art of god? {411-451}

The art of deep seeing makes gratitude possible. And it is the art of gratitude that makes joy possible. Isn’t joy the art of God?

Ann Voskamp, one thousand gifts, page 118

Some days … some seasons even … require the “art of deep seeing.” I’m thankful God knows those days and seasons come our way at times. And it’s in those times, He’s faithful to help me see deeply.
