Proverb

"It is good that we should set aside a day in each year for Thanksgiving, but it would be better if we gave thanks every day.  For the absence of thankfulness does not mean that we are merely ungrateful--- it means that we are missing the thrill of appreciation and pleasure.  There seems to me no greater misfortune then having so much that all of it becomes meaningless; than wanting what you haven't, rather than what you have. Seven of the wisest words I know are, 'Only those are rich who desire little.' "

"Thanks is one of the great traditional American holidays, and yet it did not originate in America. About three thousand years before it was observed in this country, God spoke to Moses in the days when the great host of Israelite slaves had just escaped from Egypt.

The original proclamation from God is reported in the 23rd chapter of Exodus, 16th verse---"Thou shalt keep the feast of harvest, the first fruits of thy labors, which thou hast sown in the field; and the feast of in-gathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou has gathered in they labors out of the field."
Sunshine Magazine
