感恩的名言：感激超越你我

　　Gratitude ... goes beyond the "mine" and "thine" and claims the truth that all of life is a pure gift. In the past I always thought of gratitude as a spontaneous response to the awareness of gifts received, but now I realize that gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy.- Henri J. M. Nouwen

　　感激超越你我，传达出生命中的一切皆是纯洁礼物的真理。过去我总是把感激当作收到礼物时的自发反应，但现在我意识到感激还可以作为生命的教条。根据感激的教条，我本身和我所拥有的一切都是爱的礼物，值得欢喜庆祝的礼物。——卢云神父
