For all that God in mercy sends;
For health and children, home and friends,
For comfort in the time of need,
For every kindly word and deed,
For happy thoughts and holy talk,
For guidance in our daily walk,
FOR EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS!
For beauty in this world of ours,
For verdant grass and lovely flowers,
For song of birds, for hum of bees,
For refreshing summer breeze,
For hill and plain, for streams and wood,
For the great ocean's mighty flood,
FOR EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS!
For sweet sleep which comes with night, For the returning morning's light,
For the bright sun that shines on high, For the stars glittering in the sky,
For these and everything we see, O Lord, our hearts we lift to thee.
FOR EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS!- H.I. Tupper
True thanksgiving means that we need to thank God for what He has done for us, and not to tell Him what we have done for Him. - George R. Hendrick
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. - Melody Beattie
Thanksgiving like contentment is a learned attribute. The person who hasn't learned to be content we will not be thankful for he lives with the delusion he deserves more or something better. - Robert Flatt
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. - Hebrews 13:15
Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds. - Theodore Roosevelt
