If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice.
Meister Eckhart
We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.
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.
You say, "If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied." You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.
Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
How wonderful it would be if we could help our children and grandchildren to learn thanksgiving at an early age. Thanksgiving opens the doors. It changes a child's personality. A child is resentful, negative—or thankful. Thankful children want to give, they radiate happiness, they draw people.
He who thanks but with the lips
We can always find something to be thankful for, and there may be reasons why we ought to
be thankful for even those dispensations which appear dark and frowning.
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
If we meet someone who owes us thanks, we right away remember that. But how often do we meet someone to whom we owe thanks without remembering that?
