Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.
An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day.
God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say 'thank you?'
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more.
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.

So once in every year we throng Upon a day apart, to praise the Lord with feast and song in thankfulness of heart.
He who thanks but with the lips. Thanks but in part; the full, the true Thanksgiving. Comes from the heart.
For flowers that bloom about our feet; For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet; For song of bird, and hum of bee; For all things fair we hear or see, Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
The thankful heart will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings.
