Matthew 20:1-16, I Thessalonians 5:18

“…the byproduct of gratitude is joy. We’re not joyful and then become grateful - we’re grateful, and that makes us joyful.”
Brennan Manning

“It’s very, very easy to tell partial truths, to show the fabulous meal but not the mess to clean up afterward. To display a smiling couple shot, but not the fight you had three days ago. To offer up the sparkly milestones but not the spiraling meltdowns.”
Shauna Niequist (Present over Perfect)
