I have been collecting inspirational quotes and sayings for many years and have quite a collection!  But some of them stay with my heart and in my mind  more than others.  The sentiment of this inspirational quote by David Steindl-Rast, is so heartfelt that you can’t help but feel lifted up when you hear it.  I picked this picture to go with it because it captures the feeling of being surprised and feeling that sense of wonder that little children feel when experiencing the world anew! I hope that this quote and picture pair lifts you up, too!

“Love wholeheartedly, be surprised, give thanks and praise then you will discover the fullness of your life.”  David Steindl-Rast
