"Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude." E.P. Powell
Thanksgiving has come and gone and now everyone is enveloped in the frenzy of Christmas preparations.
It seems like every year this season whizzes by quicker than the last.
So even though we are onto another holiday, I wanted to share a few pictures from our Thanksgiving this year and some quotes I found about gratitude....
We spent the day with my Dad, Mom, sister and our good friends the Starks. We have much to be thankful for!!
"Gratitude is born in hearts that take time to count up past mercies." Charles E. Jefferson
Reflect on your present blessings of which every man has many, not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. Charles Dickens
When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.
C.S. Lewis
Better to lose count while naming your blessings than to lose your blessings to counting your troubles.
Maltbie D. Babcock
If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get.
Frank A. Clark
"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18
