Spiritual Thoughts

E ven in the most peaceful surroundings,       the angry heart finds quarrel. Even in the most quarrelsome surroundings,     the grateful heart finds peace.    -Doe Zantamata   L et us be thankful , then because   we receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken.    Let us be grateful and worship God in a   way that will please Him, with respect and awe.    -Hebrews 12:28

T he more we grow in our experience of God's grace,        the more we discover that thanksgiving   isn't simply something we say to God,           but a way of living each day.    -PsalmThoughts   I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving   and call on the name of the Lord.    -Psalm 116:17

G ratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more.   It turns denial into acceptance,       chaos to order,               confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast,    a house into a home,         a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past,      brings peace for today,              and creates a vision for tomorrow . -Melody Beattie   E nter His gates with thanksgiving;         go into His courts with praise.         Give thanks to Him and praise His name.   -Psalm 100:4

G ive thanks for sorrow that teaches you pity;          for pain that teaches you courage --   and give exceeding thanks for the mystery        which remains a mystery still -   the veil that hides you from the infinite,        which makes it possible for you to   believe in what you cannot see. -Robert Nathan   I n everything give thanks:   for this is the will of God in Jesus Christ concerning you.   -1 Thessalonians 5:18    

S ometimes our light goes out, but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those  who have rekindled this light. -Albert Schweitzer   S urely the righteous shall give thanks to Your Name: The upright shall dwell in Your presence.   -Psalm 140:13
