Book Tag

Got tagged by my friend Jamie.

Pick up a book you are currently reading, turn to page 56, go to the 5th sentence and post the next 2-5 sentences in the book. Then tag 3-5 other people.

Well Jamie accidentally looked at pg. 65 so I'm going to do the same because page 56 was the middle of a story and didn't make any sense
I haven't been reading many books lately besides textbooks but this is the last one I was working on. "Confronting the Myth of Self-Esteem" by Ester Rasband (Great book by the way, this is my second time through it)

"For the grateful, the vision is in the contentment. It is a perspective, not a checklist. It is the perspective of seeing God instead of ourselves as the source of our strength and our delight. It is the viewpoint of deeply humble and grateful worship. Self-focus interferes with our worship. It encourages us to see if our desires are met instead of being overwhelmed by the love that is being offered in ways we sometimes do not understand. Self-consciousness is the perspective of gratification instead of gratitude."

I tag anyone that is reading a great book right now and wants to share!
