How to Observe Thanksgiving 
Count your Blessings instead of Crosses;
Count your gain instead of losses.
Count your joys instead of woes;
Count your friends instead of foes.
Count your smiles instead of tears;
Count your courage instead of fears.
Count your full years instead of lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of mean.
Count your health instead of wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself!

Prayer 
If we grow wiser and more learned in our
intercourse with wise and learned persons,
how much more will we gain in our inner
life by communing with God in prayer.
Ulrich Zwingli

Meekness 
A boy was once asked, "Who are the
meek?" He thought for a moment and then
answered, "They are the people who give
soft answers to hard questions."

Moderation 
Moderation in temper is always a virtue,
but moderation in principle is always a vice.

Pressure 
It does not matter how great the pressure
is, it matters only where the pressure lies-
whether it comes between you and God,
or whether it presses you closer to His
heart.
J. Hudson Taylor
