Khalil Gibran said:
"Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving."
Scripture says it simply and elegantly:
"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God" (Thessalonians 5:18).
"Live in Thanksgiving daily" (Alma 34:38).
And Sarah Breathnach put it into modern vernacular:
"You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you."
There is a little less than two months until the new year. How about setting in motion that ancient spiritual law for 2012?

Thanks for the quotes.
My favorite Thanksgiving lesson has to be the story of Madame Blueberry, done by VeggieTales. She ruins her house when she buys too much stuff at Stuffmart, thinking it will make her happy, while all along all she More..
Thanks for the quotes.

Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all. ~William Faulkner
I'm grateful for the article...my Thanksgiving tribute this year is for the restored keys of the Pristhood and for the many Temples in which we may come closer to God.
