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."

Give Thanks for Life
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.

A Simple Prayer to Give Thanks
If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is "thank you," that would suffice.

Life becomes Rich Only with Gratitude
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.

Being Thankful for the Difficult Times
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.
