"Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many-not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some."

"My prayer is an attitude of pure gratitude for having the opportunity to experience life on this earth with all its pain, heartache, worry, and turmoil; coupled with this gratitude is the thankfulness for just having the opportunity to have lived. That is fairly easy on good days but difficult when life puts rocks and boulders in the road."

"Usually when we talk about blessings, we experience joy and anticipation of a greater presence of God in our lives."

"People are complaining of having rags and not riches, but I find it a blessing just to have rags, to wipe away the dirt and dust that may come in the course of life."

"I want to thank you, Lord, for life and all that's in it. Thank you for the day and for the hour, and the minute."

Every so often you realize that without all of them, your life would be barren and pathetic. It would be Death of a Salesman, though with e-mail and texting."

"If I have become so pathetically dulled that I hold freedom as my right and the privileges of liberty as my due, I can stand beside the stilled graves of a thousand soldiers fallen in defense of freedom and not feel a thing. And my most solemn prayer is that I will never be this."

"If you have life, you have everything."

"Thanksgiving is not only being aware of the abundance of good in the world but embracing it."
