Ten Thanksgiving quotes:


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

It is delightfully easy to thank God for the grace we ourselves have received, but it requires great grace to thank God always for the grace given to others. ~James Smith

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. ~Melody Beattie


God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you?" ~William A. Ward

But whether we have less or more,
Always thank we God therefor.
~Author Unknown

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

None is more impoverished than the one who has no gratitude. Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy. ~Fred De Witt Van Amburgh

Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart. ~Seneca

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
