Countdown: Day 22

In just over three weeks, Naked Spirituality will go on sale. Here’s today’s quote …

Walking through that town in Guatemala, I remind myself of something we all know but don’t take seriously enough: it’s not how much you have that brings happiness; it’s how much you appreciate however much or little you have. Again, it’s not the amount of stuff you have that counts; it’s the amount of appreciation you have that matters, and appreciation means ‘gratefully holding’ rather than simply ‘having without gratitude’. (Brian D. McLaren, Naked Spirituality: A Life with God in Twelve Simple Words. HarperOne, 2011, Chapter 6)
