Thankfulness is a secret passageway
into a room you can’t find any other way.
It is the wardrobe into Narnia.
It allows us to find the rest of God–
those dimensions of
God’s world,
God’s presence,
God’s character
that are hidden, always,
from the thankless.

The Rest of God
A Living Pencil 
I am thankful for you my friend. I am writing this one in my journal! love in SC
On thankfulness from Luke 17 when Jesus heals the lepers:15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him–It has always impressed me that only one of the nine turned back to say thank you…..and then a Samaritan.His faith made him well 🙂
I am still so thankful that we reconnected after so many years! Your friendship is one of the greatest blessings of my life, and you keep me wanting to stay close to our Lord, too. Thank you, for you, my friend.
Wow, lovely words. Thanks.
