The Art of Thanksgiving




The art of thanksgiving is thanksliving. It is gratitude in action. It is applying Albert Schweitzer's philosophy: 'In gratitude for your own good fortune you must render in return some sacrifice of your life for other life.'

  • It is thanking God for the gift of life by living it triumphantly.

  • It is thanking God for your talents and abilities by accepting them as obligations to be invested for the common good.

  • It is thanking God for all that men and women have done for you by doing things for others.

  • It is thanking God for opportunities by accepting them as a challenge to achievement.

  • It is thanking God for happiness by striving to make others happy.

  • It is thanking God for beauty by helping to make the world more beautiful.

  • It is thanking God for inspiration by trying to be an inspiration to others.

  • It is thanking God for health and strength by the care and reverence you show your body.

  • It is thanking God for the creative ideas that enrich life by adding your own creative contributions to human progress.

  • It is thanking God for each new day by living it to the fullest.

  • It is thanking God by giving hands, arms, legs, and voice to your thankful spirit.

It is adding to your prayers of thanksgiving, acts of thanksliving.
