Following is our collection on famous quotes by Ann Voskamp on gratitude, morhood, friendship. Gratitude is not only a response to God in good times - it's ultimately the very will of God in hard times.

Gratitude isn't only a celebration when good things happen. It's a declaration that God is good no matter what happens. Gratitude for the seemingly insignificant—a seed—this plants the giant miracle. At the last, this is what will determine a fulfilling, meaningful life, a life that, behind all the facades, every one of us longs to live: gratitude for the blessings that expresses itself by becoming the blessing.

Gratitude's not a natural posture.

The prince of darkness is ultimately a spoiled ingrate, and I've spent most of my life as kin to the fist-shaker. Learning slowly to not be so reactionary while inserting verbal gratitude into stressful situations is almost like being healed of mental blindness. Going ahead in the midst of the stressful circumstances and giving thanks in that moment - you can't simultaneously feel stress and gratitude at the same time.

So as a parent, to go ahead and start to give thanks to God resets the whole family. Gratitude is the most fruitful way of deepening your consciousness that you are a divine choice. Gratitude is at the center of a life of faith. It sounds to simple to be true, but isn't that the sign of all deep truth: so simple we're tempted to dismiss it, and so hard, it is exactly what God uses to change our hard lives.

Be radical about grace and relentless about truth and resolute about holiness.
