Anxious Quote by Philip Gulley

“I wonder if gratefulness is the bridge from sorrow to joy, spanning the chasm of our anxious striving. Freed from the burden of unbridled desires, we can enjoy what we have, celebrate what we've attained, and appreciate the familiar. For if we can't be happy now, we'll likely not be happy when.” quote by Philip Gulley — Download Open image

“When I was in second grade, my teacher, Miss Maxwell, read from The Harmony Herald that one in every four children lived in China.
