Give Thanks

When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light. Give thanks for your life and your strength. Give thanks for your food and give thanks for the joy of living. And if you see no reason for giving thanks, rest assured that the fault is in yourself. (Chief Tecumseh, in Thinking Outside the Church by Jennifer Leigh Selig, p. 238)
