Happy Thanksgiving!


The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy.  Psalm 126:3

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.  ~G.K. Chesterton

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

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.  ~Thornton Wilder

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.  ~William Arthur Ward
