A wondrous\u00a0verse to begin this Thanksgiving Holiday along with a few quotes below:<\/p>\n

“The struggle ends when gratitude begins.” – Neale Donald Walsh<\/p>\n

“When you are going through something hard and wonder where God is, remember the teacher is always quiet during a test.” – WhoSay<\/p>\n

“To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything he has given us — and he has given us everything.” Thomas Merton<\/p>\n

“‘Stop asking so much! My grace reservoir is running dry.’ Heaven knows no such words.” – Max Lucado<\/p>\n

“Everything we do should be a result of our Gratitude for what God has done for us.” \u00a0– Lauryn Hill<\/p>\n

“To trust God in the light is nothing, but trust him in the dark — that is faith.” – C. H. Spurgeon<\/p>\n

“I’m thankful for so many things, but mostly, God. Without him, I’d have nothing else to be thankful for.”<\/p>\n

“If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you must look forwards, do so prayerfully. However, the wisest thing you can do is be present in the present, gratefully.” – Maya Angelou<\/p>\n

“Gratitude is not only the greatest of all virtues but the parent of all others.” – Cicero<\/p>\n

“It is not the joy that makes us grateful, it is gratitude that makes us joyful.”<\/p>\n

“A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles.”<\/p>\n

“For one minute, walk outside, stand there, in silence, look up at the sky, and contemplate how amazing life is.”<\/p>\n

“Lord, I trust you and will follow you all the days of my life. I know when I hand it all back to You, You always turn my sadness into joy. Thank you, God, for my many blessings.”<\/p>\n

“I have too many flaws to be perfect. But I have too many blessings to be ungrateful.”<\/p>\n

“Sometimes I just look up, smile and say, ‘I know that was you, God Thanks!’<\/p>\n

Born to my native Brooklyn parents, I have a love of all things city and all things country. I found myself in the town of Scranton, Pennsylvania, which prior to The Office, nary a soul could envision less you found yourself on the hills of Interstate 81. I was held up there while I pursued my B.S. in Business. I have two passions: Business marketing and writing. The two are not so terribly different. Why? Cultivating a brand is in essence the story and the connecting of the dots of a corporate entity. I write features for various magazines and newspapers and I am a national divorce columnist (what can I say things didn\u2019t turn out quite the way I thought they would). I am also a former business columnist. For more than fifteen years, I spent my summers on the Jersey Shore in what I call my \u2018out of state\u2019 clothes once again magnetized to the northerners I find so familiar. If I were to brand my writing, I would say I write of LOVE. That is the core from which I begin most stories. I find myself drawn to dig for the moments in the story that are the passion that drive the message. It may be the love of what originally started a business or an authentically motivated personal profile, or simply the love of a subject being investigated which compels me to write. My forever favorite form of writing is the human interest essay or what I call, \u201cAn Interview With Life.\u201d The average day that is explored and somehow once again instills in us a joie de vivre\u2026..a joy of life. These human moments are the Hope Virus that spreads amongst us and can\u2019t help but propel us into better human beings with a larger sense of the world.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/author\/corme"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/575"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3153"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3159,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3153\/revisions\/3159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
