Gratitude and Thanksgiving

November 24th, 2005 by Laura Moncur in Holidays

With all of the preparations for Thanksgiving, it’s always a good practice to remember why we are celebrating this holiday. Just like the pilgrims were overwhelmed with gratitude at being saved by the Indians at the start of the harsh winter, we should take a moment to reflect on what we are thankful for and why the act of gratitude is so important.

Gratitude is born in hearts that take time to count up past mercies.
Charles E. Jefferson
Silent gratitude isn’t very much use to anyone.
Gertrude Stein
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.
Cicero, ‘Pro Plancio,’ 54 B.C.
Gratitude is our most direct line to God and the angels. If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel, we can find something to be thankful for.
Terry Lynn Taylor
It’s a sign of mediocrity when you demonstrate gratitude with moderation.
Roberto Benigni, in Newsweek
