May I quote Ann Voskamp again? "Thanks makes NOW a sanctuary. And I take my vows: I will not desecrate this moment with ignorant hurry or sordid ingratitude. I will be Jacob, and I will name this moment the 'house of God' (Genesis 28:19)."
Sordid ingratitude. That has the ring of Eve in the garden, does it not? She wasn't satisfied with what she had and wanted more. So why don't we just throw a little gratitude in the face of that hissing enemy of old.
