Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving, and the words of John Fitzgerald Kennedy tell us that, “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
– WT Purkiser –
A state of mind that sees God in everything is evidence of growth in grace and a thankful heart.
– Charles Finney –
In ordinary life, we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.
– Dietrich Bonhoeffer –
We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.
– Harry Ironside –
One day is not long enough to thank God for all that He’s given you. His blessings come daily.

Yes, give thanks for “all things” for, as it has been well said, “Our disappointments are but His appointments.”

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
– GK Chesterton –
Giving thanks to God for both His temporal and spiritual blessings in our lives is not just a nice thing to do—it is the moral will of God. Failure to give Him the thanks due Him is sin.
