8/30 讚美與感恩
- 禱告,就是安靜地坐著,直到我們安靜下來;禱告,就是選擇要感恩,直到我們真實發出感恩來;禱告,就是來讚美神,直到我們自己就成為一個讚美。Prayer is sitting in the silence until it silences us, choosing gratitude until we are grateful, and praising God until we ourselves are an act of praise.(Richard Rohr,天主教神父)
- 當詩篇作者呼喚眾人來讚美神時,那其實是所有人在提到他們在意的事時,會做的事。(魯益師)The Psalmists in telling everyone to praise God are doing what all men do when they speak of what they care about.(C. S. Lewis)
- 我們更多讚美,就會更少憂慮;感恩是不知足、不滿意的仇敵。We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.(Harry Ironside)
- 如果你一生中,惟一說出來的禱告是「謝謝你」,那也就夠了!If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.(Meister Eckhart,德國神學家、哲學家)
