GEMS OF THOUGHT
SPIRIT OF THANKFULNESS. Epicurus says: “Gratitude is a virtue that has commonly profit annexed to it.” And where is the virtue that has not?—Seneca. From David learn to give thanks for everything. Every furrow in the Book of Psalms is sown with seeds of thanksgiving—Jeremy Taylor. Our thanks should be as fervent for mercies received as our petitions for mercies sought.—Charles Simmons. While no offering can liquidate one’s debt of gratitude to God, the fervent heart and willing hand are not unknown to or unrewarded by Him — Mary Baker Eddy. If gratitude is due from man to man, how much more from man to his Maker! —Joseph Addison. Pride slays thanksgiving, but a humble mind is the soil out of whjch thanks naturally grows.—H. Ward Beecher.
