practicing the presence of god {608-620}

“The practice of giving thanks … eucharisteo … this is the way we practice the presence of God, stay present to His presence, and it is always a practice of the eyes. We don’t have to change what we see. Only the way we see.”

Ann Voskamp, one thousand gifts, page 135
