When gratitude dies on the altar of a man's heart, he is well nigh hopeless.
                                 Bob Jones Sr.


In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
                      1 Thessalonians 5:18

It is a day set aside for expressing thanks for the life's many blessings.
