HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
If you get the Great Commission Morale Booster then you probably recognize what follows as most of these were published there yesterday. Enjoy these thoughts and have a great day - it's God's gift to us.
Psalms 107:1-3 (ESV) Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
"The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving." -H. U. Westermayer
"Some people complain because God put thorns on roses, while others praise Him for putting roses among thorns." -Anonymous
"We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction." -Harry A. Ironside
"Our favorite attitude should be gratitude." -Anonymous
"No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks." -Ambrose of Milan
"When we bless God for mercies we usually prolong them. When we bless God for miseries, we usually end them." -C. H. Spurgeon
"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." -William Arthur Ward
"Would you know who is the greatest saint in the world? It is not he who prays the most or fasts the most. It is not he who lives the most. But it is he who is always thankful to God, who receives everything as an instance of God's goodness and has a heart always ready to praise God for it." -William Law
"Eternity will be too short fully to recount His praise. Let us not shorten our joy by neglecting to begin on earth." -Henry Law
Hebrews 13:15 (ESV) Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.
