My Notes: The Greatest Gift by Ann Voskamp
"I will bless you...and you will be a blessing to others." ~Gen. 12:2
Ann Voskamp states in her book, The Greatest Gift: "Slow down to feel the wind. Name the gifts- gift upon gift upon gift. And listen for the echo in everything: I will bless you."
D.L. Moody wrote: "Faith is the gift of God. So is the air, but you have to breathe it; so is bread, but you have to eat it; so is water, but you have to drink it."
It's all grace. Slow down and breathe it in.
"The greatest gift God graces a soul with is His own presence." ~Ann Voskamp
The last quote for today by Ann is so good. "The present is His presence- and the greatest present you always have to give is His presence- looking in to someone's eyes as you listen, refusing the wrong of rushing, lingering long enough to really listen- to everything."
Yes! The greatest gift to give someone is your 100% presence. Be in it!
