Nothing is more irritating to people resigned to life without hope than people awakening to hope.
Hope anyway.
Now may God, the inspiration and fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope!
(Romans 15:13 TPT)
Being joyful isn’t what makes you grateful. Being grateful is what makes you joyful.
~Ann Voskamp
Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.

He blankets the earth with glistening snow,
painting the landscape with frost.
(Psalm 147:16 TPT)
“It takes God a long time to get us to stop thinking that unless everyone sees things exactly as we do, they must be wrong.”
— Oswald Chambers
But in the depths of my heart I truly know
that you, Yahweh, have become my Shield;
You take me and surround me with yourself.
Your glory covers me continually.
You lift high my head when I bow low in shame.
I have cried out to you, Yahweh, from your holy presence.
You send me a Father’s help.
Pause in his presence.
So now I’ll lie down and sleep like a baby—
then I’ll awake in safety, for you surround me with your glory.
Even though dark powers prowl around me,
I won’t be afraid.
(Psalm 3:3-6 The Passion Translation)
