Gratitude

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson


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!  ~Henry Ward Beecher




He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.  ~Epictetus


Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.  ~Henry Ward Beecher
 

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice.  ~Meister Eckhart


 
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.  ~William Arthur Ward
 

Thou hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more, - a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise.
~George Herbert
