SIGNS OF LOST
LIVING
We lost the day in love. You Ann Voskamp is the wife
can be glued to a screen of one fine, down-to-earth
or glued to your schedule farmer; a book-reading
or glued to your stuff –– mama to a posse of seven;
and maybe that’s just a bit and the author of the New
of lost living. You can be a York Times bestsellers One
slave to getting ahead, a Thousand Gifts (sold more
slave to the clock, a slave than one million copies and
to convenience, a slave to translated into more than
some ill-advised American twenty-one languages)
dream –– and maybe and The Broken Way.
that’s a lot of lost living.
Maybe even in a bit of
brokenness, grace moves
in you to get up and give
to people you love and
people you’re learning
to love, to go to the park
and laugh with your kids or
any kids, to give an elerly
woman a hand and a
listening ear and the gift
of presence –– that’s large
living.
The greatest living always
happens through the
givenness.
