Let Us Give Thanks

 

Not what we say about our blessings,

but how we use them,

is the true measure of our thanksgiving. 

~W.T. Purkiser

 

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

 

I would maintain that thanks are the

highest form of thought;

and that gratitude is happiness

doubled by wonder. 

~G.K. Chesterton

 

The Pilgrims made seven times more graves

than huts.   No Americans have been

 more impoverished than these who,

nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving. 

~H.U. Westermayer 

 

Thou hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more, - a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise.
~George Herbert
