"Thanksgiving is a spiritual exercise, necessary to the building of a healthy soul. It takes us out of the stuffiness of ourselves into the fresh breeze & sunlight of the will of God. The simple act of thanking Him is for most of us an abrupt change of activity, a break from work or worry, a move toward re-creation."
Elisabeth Elliot, Keep a Quiet Heart
"As you go through this day, look for tiny treasures strategically placed along the way. I lovingly go before you & plant little treasures to brighten your day. Look carefully for them, & pluck them one by one. When you have reached the end of the day, you will have gathered a lovely bouquet. Offer it up to Me with a grateful heart. Receive my Peace as you lie down to sleep, with thankful thoughts playing a lullaby in your mind."
Sarah Young, Jesus Calling

I know Thanksgiving was yesterday...but why can't it be everyday?
Link up, tell me what you're thankful for, thoughts, quotes, or verses on Thanksgiving, etc.
