A thankful Thanksgiving

"To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven." - Johannes A. Gaertner

Lilly in her pumpkin hat last Thanksgiving:

"Would you know who is the greatest saint in the world: It is not he who prays most or fasts most, it is not he who gives most alms or is most eminent for temperance, chastity or justice; but it is he who is always thankful to God, who wills everything that God wills, who receives everything as an instance of God's goodness and has a heart always ready to praise God for it." - Wiilliam Law

Solomon wearing Lilly's pumpkin hat this Thanksgiving:

"If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get." - Frank A. Clark

I know this picture portraying the first Thanksgiving is supposed to be historically inaccurate, but I like it anyway:

"O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting."  - 1 Chronicles 16:34

(Above photo) Lilly's turkey handprints from the two Thanksgivings she was with us.  I'm off now to help Solomon make his first turkey handprint!

"[I]n everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18
