Thanksgiving Quotes – 2024

On this American Thanksgiving Week, here are a few of my favorite Thanksgiving quotes,  Feel free to add yours to my list.

“What if today we were just grateful for everything?” Charlie Brown

“I think there is a better thing than thanksgiving: thanks-living. How is this to be done? By a general cheerfulness of manner, by an obedience to the command of Him by whose mercy we live, by a perpetual, constant delighting of ourselves in the Lord, and by a submission of our desires to His will.”  Charles Spurgeon

“I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

“My cooking is so bad my kids thought Thanksgiving was to commemorate Pearl Harbor.”

Phyllis Diller

“The more you practice the art of thankfulness, the more you have to be thankful for.” Norman Vincent Peale

May your stuffing be tasty May your turkey plump, May your potatoes and gravy Have nary a lump. May your yams be delicious And your pies take the prize, And may your Thanksgiving dinner Stay off your thighs!”  Grandpa Jones

“I come from a family where gravy is considered a beverage.”  Erma Bombeck

 “Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,”  Ephesians 5:20

“The Lord is my strength and my shield;  My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore, my heart triumphs, And with my song I shall thank Him.”  Psalm 28:7 (NASV)

“Come, ye thankful people, come, Raise the song of harvest home; All is safely gathered in, Ere the winter storms begin; God our Maker doth provide For our wants to be supplied; Come to God’s own temple, come, Raise the song of harvest home.” Henry Alford

“Thank you Lord, for saving my soul Thank you Lord, for making me whole; Thank you Lord, for giving to me Thy great salvation so rich and free.” Seth and Bessie Sykes

Don’t forget to tell someone “Thanks” this Thanksgiving.
