“… but to give thanks is an action and rejoice is a verb and these are not mere pulsing emotions. While I may not always feel joy, God asks me to give thanks in all things, because He knows that the feeling of joy begins in the action of thanksgiving… The demanding of my own will is the singular force that smothers out joy- nothing else.”(Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts, Zondervan, Grand Rapids Michigan, 2010, 176-177)
