Happy Thanksgiving

Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast. ~William Shakespeare

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice. ~Meister Eckhart

Our rural ancestors, with little blest,
Patient of labour when the end was rest,
Indulged the day that housed their annual grain,
With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain.

~Alexander Pope

A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues. ~Cicero

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. ~W.T. Purkiser

Thanksgiving comes to us out of the prehistoric dimness, universal to all ages and all faiths. At whatever straws we must grasp, there is always a time for gratitude and new beginnings. ~J. Robert Moskin


Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart. ~Seneca

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

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

Hem your blessings with thankfulness so they don't unravel. ~Author Unknown

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

Gratitude is the sign of noble souls. ~Aesop
