We Ought to Give Thanks
“We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good; if bad, because it works in us patience, humility, contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.” C.S. Lewis
“The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.” Henry Ward Beecher
“Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift…. If you hoard a thing for yourself, it will turn into spiritual dry rot, as the manna did when it was hoarded. God will never let you hold a spiritual thing for yourself; it has to be given back to Him that He may make it a blessing to others.” Oswald Chambers
“A state of mind that sees God in everything is evidence of growth in grace and a thankful heart.” Charles Finney
“Yes, give thanks for ‘all things’ for, as it has been well said ‘Our disappointments are but His appointments.’”
A.W. Pink
