I am profoundly grateful to God and to many people, including all who read this blog and are collaborators with us this Thanksgiving. So I thought I'd share some inspiring gratitude thoughts:
“You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.” — G. K. Chesterton
"I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder." - G. K. Chesterton
“Thou that has 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
“If the only prayer you say in your life is thank you, that would suffice.” — Meister Eckhart
"Gratitude brought me into the church and that gratitude grows, and the first word my heart will utter when I face my God is 'Thanks'." - Dorothy Day
'Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.'
I Chronicles 16:34
