Quotes ~
What we're really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving? Who does not thank for little will not thank for much. Got no check books, got no banks. Still I'd like to express my thanks - I got the sun in the mornin' and the moon at night. The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings! Do not get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time. God gave us our relatives; thank God we can choose our friends. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Until next time...Be Safe.......Be well.......Share a smile. ~
