"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Experience.


Gratitude takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God.  For the Grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay, but by experience.  And that is what makes all the difference.

Thomas Merton
