Chesterton
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

Be grateful for the tiny details of your life and make room for unexpected and beautiful blessings.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. – Innerspace
Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it. – Ralph Marston

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. – Robert Brault
For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude. – Clarence E. Hodges

Gratitude is atomic power in our hands. When we think and speak Gratitude, we transform our perceptions of reality and enjoy what we often consider miracles in our lives. Thank you for sharing your experience, I really appreciate.

That’s a nice lesson for everybody, thanks for sharing this thought. Gratitude unfortunately is often absent in our modern societies full of materialism and egoism. I love the quote of Innerspace a lot, the others are great too. Thanks Steve!
NiceArtLife,
What about mandatory Gratitude Classes for every child at school? Why don’t we teach children values, habits and tools that can help them live the life they deserve to live? Although we live in an egoistic society, we can change that…by starting with ourselves.
Thanks a lot for sharing
Great set of quotes. We need them to remind us to keep on track each day.
Hello Clint,
You are right. We have a tendency to forget what makes us happy, or what is important for us. I believe it’s important to take few minutes each morning to remind us what is meaningful in our lives.
I really appreciate your comment. Thank you!
Expressing gratitude has worked so well in my life. I make an effort to Thank God/Source?Universe for all the blessings that continue to flow into my life and it feels well.. GREAT! Thanks for sharing these excellent quotes.
Baker,
Thanks for sharing your experience. My understanding of gratitude’s power took a new dimension when I started thanking God for what was wrong in my life. Yes… not only for my blessings but for the small and big problems! Since then, my faith grew up; now I can see opportunities and solutions in problems while before I was complaining. The more I’m grateful for everything, the more positive coincidences and blessings I experience. It’s just amazing!
Have a Great Day
Steve,
That takes great wisdom, to be in space that you start thanking God for the problems in ones life. I too have had done this, and the power and clarity that results is truly amazing for the soul.
Thanks for sharing these wonderful words
