Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace, the celebration of work and the simple life... a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons, the beauty of seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the year - and the deep, deep connection of all these things with God. ~Ray Stannard Baker (David Grayson)

A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues. ~Cicero

For, after all, put it as we may to ourselves, we are all of us from birth to death guests at a table which we did not spread. The sun, the earth, love, friends, our very breath are parts of the banquet.... Shall we think of the day as a chance to come nearer to our Host, and to find out something of Him who has fed us so long? ~Rebecca Harding Davis

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. ~W.T. Purkiser

You are very special in my heart and thoughts!

Happy Thanksgiving!
