"In many of the families I visited nothing was certain, nothing predictable, nothing totally safe. Maybe there would be food tomorrow, maybe there would be work tomorrow, maybe there would be peace tomorrow. Maybe, maybe not. But whatever is given--money, food, work, a handshake, a smile, a good word, or an embrace--is a reason to rejoice and say gracias. What I claim as a right, my friends in [Nicaragua] received as a gift; what is obvious to me is a joyful surprise to them; what I take for granted, they celebrate in thanksgiving; what for me goes by unnoticed became for them a new occasion to say thanks.

"And slowly I learned. I learned what I must have forgotten somewhere in my busy, well-planned, and very 'useful' life. I learned that everything that is, is freely given by the God of love. All is grace."

Gracias!
Henri Nouwen
