...by Wilfred A. Peterson
The art of thanksgiving is thanksliving. It is gratitude in action. It is applying Albert Schweitzer's philosophy: "In gratitude for your own good fortune you must render in return some sacrifice of your life for another life."
It is thanking God for the gift of life by living it triumphantly.
It is thanking God for your talents and abilities by accepting them as obligations to be invested for the common good.
It is thanking God for all that men and women have done for you by doing things for others.
It is thanking God for opportunities by accepting them as a challenge to achievement.
It is thanking God for happiness by striving to make others happy.
To be continued....
I'm trusting you have the most remarkable thanksgiving season you've ever had. God has been so good to ALL of us. ...Bless the Lord, oh my soul and forget not ALL of his benefits....
Blessings,
Mitch
