Thanksgiving helps us to be grace-centered, seeing all of life as a gift. Β It looks on how God’s past blessings impact our lives. Β Watchfulness alerts us to the unfolding drama in the present. Β It looks for God’s present working as it unfolds into future grace.

Paul E. Miller, A Praying Life: Connecting with God in a Distracting World, p. 187

  1. Loved this, Lyli, and I shared this same verse yesterday. What a powerful quote! I am writing this one down in my journal. May we see “God’s present working as it unfolds in future grace.” Blessings!

  2. I love that book on prayer by Paul Miller. It’s not just something we do; it’s who we are. And gratefulness is an integral part of that. Thanks, Lyli. Grateful for YOU!

  3. Beautiful words on Thanksgiving. I’ve come to see it as truly an art–it needs to be nurtured and cultivated. God’s goodness does that in our lives everyday. Would that we might respond to His prompts to practice the art of a grateful heart.
    Joy!
