"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have
into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order,

a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace
for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
- Melody Beattie "If the only prayer you said in your whole life was 'thank you',
that would suffice."
- Meister Eckhart
“Praise God even when you don’t understand what He is doing.”

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!"

May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!"
