The Art of Thanksgiving


The art of Thanksgiving is gratitude in action.

It is giving thanks for the gift of life

by living it triumphantly.

It is giving thanks for your talents and abilities

by accepting them as obligations to be invested for the common good.


It is giving thanks for happiness

by striving to make others happy.


It is giving thanks for beauty

by helping to make the world more beautiful.


It is giving thanks for inspiration

by trying to be an inspiration to others.


It is giving thanks for opportunities

by accepting them a challenge to achievement.


It is giving thanks for the creative ideas that enrich life

by adding your own creative contributions to human progress.


It is giving thanks for each new day

by living it to the fullest.


It is adding to your prayers of thanksgiving, acts of Thanksgiving.
