Gratitude


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

Gratitude is the memory of the heart. ~Jean Baptiste

The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you.
~John E. Southard


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

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.
~Thornton Wilder


There is not a more pleasing exercise of the mind than gratitude. It is accompanied with such an inward satisfaction that the duty is sufficiently rewarded by the performance.
~Joseph Addison



Gratitude is a feeling of appreciation and thankfulness for blessings or benefits we have received. As we cultivate a grateful attitude, we are more likely to be happy and spiritually strong. We should regularly express our gratitude to God for the blessings He gives us and to others for the kind acts they do for us.
