Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. &#8221;<br \/>\nPsalm 95:1-5<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say, \u2018Thank you?\u2019\u201d<br \/>\nWilliam Ward<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.\u201d<br \/>\nPsalm 100:1-5<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.\u201d<br \/>\nJohn F. Kennedy<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God\u2019s will for you in Christ Jesus.\u201d<br \/>\n1 Thessalonians 5:16-18<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;There is no such thing as gratitude unexpressed. If it is unexpressed, it is plain, old-fashioned ingratitude.\u201d<br \/>\nRobert Brault<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.\u201d<br \/>\n1 Chronicles 16:8<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.\u201d<br \/>\nG.K.
