“Gratitude as a discipline involves a conscious choice. I can choose to be grateful even when my emotions and feelings are still steeped in hurt and resentment. It is amazing how many occasions present themselves in which I can choose gratitude instead of a complaint.”

“Grant me daily the grace of gratitude, to be thankful for all my many gifts, and so be freed from artificial needs, that I might lead a joyful, simple life.”

“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.”

“We are never more than one grateful thought away from peace of heart.”

“If I can’t be grateful for what I have now, what makes me think I’ll be grateful if I have more.”

“Gratitude places you in the energy field of plentitude. Perceiving life in a consciousness of gratitude is literally stepping into another dimension of living. Suddenly the seeming ordinariness of your days takes on a divine sparkle.”

“There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy.”

“How many gifts and graces You have given me! How many favors You have fed me from your hand! I look for your love in all directions, then suddenly its blessing burns in me.”
