giving thanks...

It's not how much we have...

but how much we enjoy...

that makes happiness.

All that we behold is full of blessings.

Gratitude makes sense of our past...

brings peace for today...

and creates a vision for tomorrow.

they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words,

 but to live by them.

Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness!

Reflect upon your present blessings, 

of which every man has plenty; 

not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some. 

~Charles Dickens

The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest.

Thanksgiving Day is a jewel,

 to set in the hearts of honest men; 

but be careful that you do not take the day, 

and leave out the gratitude.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving,

and His courts with praise.

Give thanks to Him;

bless His name.

Whether or not you are gathering around the Thanksgiving table this weekend...

may your hearts be filled with gratitude...

for all that you have.

Happy Thanksgiving!
