For hearts that are kindly, with virtue and peace,
and not seeking blindly a hoard to increase
for those who are grieving o’er life’s sordid plan
for souls still believing in heaven and man
for homes that are lowly with love at the board
for things that are holy, I thank thee, O Lord!"
"Happiness is the realization of God in the heart.
Happiness is the result of praise and thanksgiving,
of faith, of acceptance; a quiet tranquil realization of the love of God."
"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."
"I do not think of all the misery, but of the glory that remains.
Go outside into the fields, nature and the sun,
go out and seek happiness in yourself and in God.
Think of the beauty that again and again discharges itself within and without you and be happy."
"Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday.
People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year.
And then discover once a year is way too often."
Someone once said :
I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.
And my teacher gives me a lot of things to take home.
Thank you Teacher.
The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies
but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and,
as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour
some heavenly blessings!
Thank You For Touching My Life
In Ways You May Never Know.
My Riches Do Not Lie In Material Wealth,
But In Having Friend Like You
A Precious Gift From God.
