Your gratitude unleashes infinite grace.
"By counting my blessings, I turn apathy into cheerfulness, despair into laughter, and grief into gratitude. When you can offer thanks in the midst of your trial, your life has already taken a turn for the best. If the only two words you ever pray are 'thank you,' Child, you’ve said enough."

-- Eva Johnson in What Keeps Me Standing: Letters from Black Grandmothers on Peace, Hope and Inspiration.
