Thankfulness
We are thankful for our Creator, for our family, for our friends, for our homes, for our abundant food... and for so much more....
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." –- John F. Kennedy
“Rest and be thankful.” ― William Wadsworth
“Thankfulness creates gratitude which generates contentment that causes peace.” ― Todd Stocker
“Gratitude bestows reverence.....changing forever how we experience life and the world.” ― John Milton
"When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself." -- Tecumseh
"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever." -– 1 Chronicles 16:34
"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." -- Thornton Wilder
God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you?" -- William A. Ward
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!" -- Henry Ward Beecher
“Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank You for this place in which we dwell, for the love accorded us this day, for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind. Spare us to our friends, soften us to our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors; if it may not, give us strength to endure that which is to come that we may be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another. We beseech of you this help and mercy for Christ's sake.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson
