thankfulness

It is by continuing to put out good work that the artist best shows his gratitude.

Nothing is owed to us in life, not even the innocence of a blue sky. Great art is the art of thankfulness for the abundance of every moment. Writing is a Chinese variant of this thankfulness, a courtesy to life in its cloak of nothing, lined with love.

Entitlement is such a cancer, because it is void of gratitude.

I am thankful that I can be thankful, for if thankfulness did not exist my heart would be irretrievably imprisoned by the crazed twins of acquisition and possession, and my soul would exist as a forever slave to greed.

The Lord God is my hope, my joy and my strength.

God Almighty, I don__ want to ask for more. But to say more thanks.

We joyfully pray with grateful heart__ to welcome blessings in New Year.

The aim is to love God because the pure heart loves loving God and because the true mind knows He deserves it. Unlike the accusations and beliefs of the critics and skeptics, it is neither an obligation of duty; nor a fear of damnation; nor a wish for power; nor a desire to appear more righteous than others; nor because God needs it; but because through all love, truth, reason, faith, honesty, and joy in and beyond oneself and the universe, He is worthy.

Gratitude enables you to be fearless, and to never shy away from reveling in every moment of your life.

Joy is thankfulness, and when we are joyful, that is the best expression of thanks we can offer the Lord, Who delivers us from sorrow and sin.

God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. He is intricately involved in our lives and for that alone, we should be thankful.

Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we once enjoyed or those we enjoy now.

Walk together. Feel the heart beats. Experience the presence. This is how to be thankful.

Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude. Every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road.

Life is a web of intersections and choices. Your 1st choice is to recognize an intersection. Your 2nd choice is to be grateful for it.

All our discontents about what we want appeared to spring from the want of thankfulness for what we have.

Beggar that I am I am even poor in thanks.

O give thanks unto the Lord for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.
