Now thank we all our God, With hearts and hands and voices;
Who wondrous things hath done, In whom this world rejoices.
Who, from our mother's arms, Hath led us on our way,
With countless gifts of love, And still is ours today.
O may this bounteous God through all our life be near
us,
With ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep still in grace, and guide us when perplexed;
And free us from all ills, in this world and the next.
All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given;
The Son and Him Who reigns with Them in highest heaven;
The one eternal God, Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.
- Martin Rinkart (1586-1649) Lutheran minister
God gave us our relatives; thank God we can choose
our friends.
- Ethel Watts Mumford

aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets.
I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?
- Erma Bombeck, "No One Diets on Thanksgiving"
So once in every year we throng
Upon a day apart,
To praise the Lord with feast and song
In thankfulness of heart.

We will speed the day when all of God's children, black
men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and
Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing ...Free
at last, Free at last, Thank God Almighty, I'm free
at last.
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Thank God every day when you get up that you have something
to do that day which must be done whether you like it
or not. Being forced to work and forced to do your best
will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence
and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and
a hundred virtues which the idle will never know.
- Basil Carpenter
Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action.
- W.J. Cameron
You say, 'If I had a little more, I should be very
satisfied.' You make a mistake. If you are not content
with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it
were doubled.
- Charles Haddon Spurgeon
