God is more anxious to bestow His blessings on us than we are to receive them.
Augustine
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
Psalm 7:17
The New International Version
If you were not strangers here, the dogs of the world would not bark at you.

Our yesterdays present irreparable things to us; it is true that we have lost opportunities which will never return, but God can transform this destructive anxiety into a constructive thoughtfulness for the future. Let the past sleep, but let it sleep on the bosom of Christ. Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.
Oswald Chambers
The Lord says to the people of Israel, “Seek me—and live.”
Amos 5:4
The Living Bible
We should render thanks to God for having produced this temporal light, which is the smile of heaven and joy of the world, spreading it like a cloth of gold over the face of the air and earth, and lighting it as a torch by which we might behold His works.

God deserves far more praise than any of us could ever give Him. And God receives little thanks, even for his greatest gifts.

“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness. Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.”
Luke 11:33-36
The English Standard Version
I do not seek to understand so that I may believe, but I believe so that I may understand.

Jesus is moved to happiness every time He sees that you appreciate what He has done for you. Grip His pierced hand and say to Him, “I thank Thee, Savior, because Thou hast died for me.” Thank Him likewise for all the other blessings He has showered upon you from day to day. It brings joy to Jesus.
Ole Hallesby
Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone.
Psalm 33:22
The New Living Translation
There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it behooves all of us not to talk about the rest of us.

Many favors which God gives us ravel out for want of hemming through our unthankfulness; for, though prayer purchases blessings, giving praise keeps the quiet possession of them.
Thomas Fuller
“The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!”
Psalm 50:23

Thanksgiving is nothing if not a glad and reverent lifting of the heart to God in honour and praise for His goodness.
James R. Miller
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him, bless his name!
Psalm 100:4
The Revised Standard Version
O, heavenly Father: we thank thee for food and remember the hungry.
We thank thee for health and remember the sick.
We thank thee for friends and remember the friendless.
We thank thee for freedom and remember the enslaved.
May these remembrances stir us to service,
That thy gifts to us may be used for others.
Amen.

John Henry Jowett said: “Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic.” This is a most searching and true diagnosis. Gratitude can be a vaccine that can prevent the invasion of a disgruntled attitude. As antitoxins prevent the disastrous effects of certain poisons and diseases, Thanksgiving destroys the poison of faultfinding and grumbling. When trouble has smitten us, a spirit of thanksgiving is a soothing anti-septic.
Clinton C. Cox
For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
Nehemiah 12:46
The King James Version
A real Thanksgiving is celebrated in real thanksgiving.

It’s a terrible day. Thanks be to God!

Nothing touches us that has not first passed through His hands.

The whole benefit of trial consists in silence, patience, rest, and resignation. In this condition divine strength is found for the hard warfare, because God Himself fights for the soul.
Miguel de Molinos
Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!

If someone predicts their own death and resurrection and pulls it off, I go with whatever that person says.
