Thanksgiving Thoughts

Jalal (Glory), 5 Qudrat (Power) 177 B.E. - Saturday, November 7, 2020

"Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings."
William Arthur Ward

Gratitude is transformative!
Each day brings new reasons to be thankful,
and to express thanks
to the Lord.

"We yield praise unto God—hallowed and glorified be He—for whatsoever He hath graciously revealed in this blessed, this glorious and incomparable Day. Indeed if everyone on earth were endowed with a myriad tongues and were to continually praise God and magnify His Name to the end that knoweth no end, their thanksgiving would not prove adequate for even one of the gracious favors We have mentioned in this Tablet. Unto this beareth witness every man of wisdom and discernment, of understanding and knowledge."

Bahá’u’lláh12

I intone my thanksgiving
for the favors God's love
freely gives.
