Give Thanks at Thanksgiving
A Day to Remember to Be Grateful
Thanksgiving is a perfect time to stop for a moment once a year and remember to give thanks. It's a time to be grateful for one's health, family, friends, job, home and having food on the table.
Take a few moments as you read through this lens and to share what you will be giving thanks for this Thanksgiving.
We will be taking a few moments with our family to give thanks and say our "Gratefuls" before eating, as a reminder of all that we have to be grateful for, the good and the not so good.
Remember "In all things, give thanks."

Stopping to Give Thanks
Thanksgiving is a great time to take a moment, stop, think about all that we have to be grateful for and give thanks.One of my favorite Thanksgiving quotes comes from H. U. Westermayer who reminds us of how impovershed the Pilgrims were and how many loved ones they lost, but even with all of the hardships, these were the people who set aside a day for giving thanks, a day that has become our Thanksgiving.
I have pulled together many quotes on giving thanks and being grateful, along with a few musical Thanksgiving quotes for you to enjoy.
Remember in the hustle and bustle of the holiday, take a moment, read some quotes, listen to some music and give thanks.
Thanksgiving Vase by Doug WW
Thanksgiving Started with Impoverished Pilgrims - Quote
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

Give Thanks for Life Quote
When you arise in the morning,
give thanks for the morning light,
for your life and strength.
Give thanks for your food,
and the joy of living.
If you see no reason for giving thanks,
the fault lies with yourself.

Life becomes Rich Only with Gratitude Quote
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.
It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with that of others.

We can always find something to be thankful for,
and there may be reasons
why we ought to be thankful for
even those dispensations which appear dark and frowning.
