"I know it well after a day smattered with rowdiness and worn a bit ragged with bickering that I may feel disappointment and the despair may flood high, but to give thanks is an action and rejoice is a verb and these are not mere pulsing emotions. While I may not always feel joy God asks me to give thanks in all things, because He know that the feeling of joy begins in the action of thanksgiving." Ann Voskamp
