Thanksgiving

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, Thank you, that would suffice. - Meister Eckhart As we join hands in fellowship around this bountiful table, we give thanks for the blessings of this food and the love of these friends as a symbol of our gratitude for all the manifold blessings of this life. - Jonathan Lockwood Huie 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 A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues. - Cicero Give thanks for the rainbows, for the butterflies, for all God's creatures - large and small, for the bright blue sky and the soft fog and the gentle rain, for the tree veiled in the season's first frost, for the baby's laugh, for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you." - Jonathan Lockwood Huie Further reading: Let Each Day be a Thanksgiving A List of Gratitudes - a Thanksgiving
