Be grateful for all that you have in your life. Many
times we take life and what we have for granted, we strive for more but not taking the time to appreciate and give
thanks for what we have. As Oprah Winfrey said, "Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."
Many times we take life for granted, however, from his book, Simple Reminders, Bryant McGill writes, "The best way to be thankful for the gift of life is to not throw it away." Truly words of inspiration!
There are so many things to be thankful for;
The gift of being alive,
Blessings of a new day to hope and dream,
The gift of families, the gift of children,
The gift of friends, gift of people who make you laugh and smiles,
The gift of strangers who show you kindness,
The gift of nature,
Gift of educators,
Gift of preachers
And many more.
Appreciate the beauty found in nature
Be grateful for the people in your life who love you
Be glad for each new day you get to experience
Be happy for friends and family who surround you
Be delighted in the little things life has to offer
Be thankful and give thanks to God, the Father who created it all!
Thanks, thanks for the privilege of living,
For the glory of growth, the peace of forgiving.
For the sight of the hills when the dusk is grey.
For the crimson of dawn and the gold of day,
For the friendship that reaches a kindly hand.
For love with its power to understand,
For the long, white road we can walk along. For companionship and the love of home,
For the trees that quiver against the sky,
For birds, that go winging and singing by.
For hearts of faith through the midnight dark,
For the reassurance of morning's lark,
For the countless things that cause tears to start,
But most. Lord, thanks for a thankful heart.
Haste not, dear heart, too fast and far
To reaping days,
To find what gifts and treasures are
Meet for thy praise,
Nor wait, as thou hast done, to sing
Thy sweetest thanks at harvesting.
Just at thy gate a garden blooms
With life and song,
And in the fields a thousand looms
Hum all day long.
Lo! all these golden summer days
No toiling vale its thanks delays.
Be glad to-day, dear heart, for all
Each season gives.
Let come what may to speed the fall,
The present lives.
No creature hath one reason why
A thankless day should hurry by.
Be thankful for the little things
For to our life, happiness they bring
Be thankful for family and friends
We never know when life will end
Be thankful for the air we breathe. For the flowers, grass and trees.
Be thankful for the sunshine in the sky
And for the birds that fly.
Be thankful for the rain that falls
And for snow that make snowballs.
Give thanks each and every day
And you will wash away the gray.
Be thankful for the gifts
That bounteous Heaven bestows:
Enjoy them while they last,
Nor mourn the fading rose.
The world would weary
Did night not follow day,
And Spring herself would perish
If every month were May.
More life quotes to inspire you
not to take anything for granted - be thankful for what you have.
Thankful For The Stars
Poet: Charles Mackay
That earth's no paradise
We know as well as you.
What then? you dark, dull soul!
Suppose in the deep blue sky
There never was seen a star;
Suppose the bounteous earth
No more brought forth a flower,
And trees were barren sticks,
Like you, my worthy friend!
Go away, grumbler! go!
And, ere you talk again
Of the utter misery
And darkness of the world.
Be grateful for the flowers;
And if your purblind eyes.
My most respectable friend.
Can dare to look so high,
Be thankful for the stars.
