Gratitude is an offering precious in the sight of God, and it is one that the poorest of us can make and be not poorer but richer for having made it.

Gratitude exclaims, very properly, 'How good of God to give me this.'

If the heart has been reformed by the spirit, it makes use of both the useful and delightful things created and given by God in a holy manner and with thanksgiving.

I try to look on all the great things God's done, and not focus on the negative. It's a perspective.

Down on your knees, and thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love.

Gratitude is the joy that arises in response to God's good will toward us in all his gifts.

If we don't take inventory every once in a while and give thanks to God for the great things He has done for us, we get totally out of perspective.

If anyone would tell you the shortest, surest way to all happiness and all perfection, he must tell you to make a rule to yourself to thank and praise God for everything that happens to you.

If you don't take inventory of your blessings, ingratitude will try to steal them from you.

To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.

He who does not reflect his life back to God in gratitude does not know himself.

Gratitude turns negative energy into positive energy. There is no situation or circumstance so small or large that it is not susceptible to gratitude's power.
