We are having the usual thing for our Thanksgiving dinner: relatives.
-- As quoted in Bob Phillips, Phillips' Book of Great Thoughts & Funny Sayings, (Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc, 1993), p. 309.
A grateful thought toward heaven is of itself a prayer.
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781)
A true Christian is a man who never for a moment forgets what God has done for him in Christ, and whose whole comportment and whole activity have their root in the sentiment of gratitude.
John Baillie (1741-1806)
He who forgets the language of gratitude is not likely to be on speaking terms with God.
Do not cut down the tree that gives you shade.
Arabian Proverb

Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)
Thanksgiving is a duty before it's a feeling.
Hem your blessings with gratitude lest they unravel.

article which she pretended to seek, but by a wicked wish to stare at her.
THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES

decided he had enough. He told his wife that he intended to let the local barber shave him
each day. He put on his hat a Flying High There was a religious lady that had to do a lot of traveling for her
business, so she did a lot of flying. Flying made her very very nervous, so she always
took her Bible along with her to read as it helped relax her on the long fights. From : A Time to Smile zphhumor@info.harpercollins.com
Place and time: somewhere in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. The phone rings at KGB headquarters. Bad Manners The man was seated in the cafeteria when a woman and her two children sat down nearby and began to eat. Suddenly the man belched. What's the time?
