For all God's gifts there must be in us a response of thanksgiving and happiness and joy: but here we thank Him less by words than by the serene happiness of silent acceptance.
Thomas Merton, Seeds of Contemplation
With gift of thunder and pain
prepare the soil
for living rain.
With gift of streaming grace
fill my soul
with unspeakable faith!
