Grace Quote by Tish Harrison Warren

“The habit of praying before my meal trains me in a way of being-in-the-world. It reminds me that my personal experience is not what determines whether or not something is a grace and a wonder, and that some of the most astonishing gifts are the most easily overlooked.” quote by Tish Harrison Warren
