Giving Thanks

Happiness doesn't lead to gratitude; it's gratitude that leads to happiness.

Gratitude is less measured by how pleased we are with the blessings we have received and more by how much we love those from whom we have received them and with whom we share them -- God ultimately being "the One from whom all blessings flow" and to Whom our gratitude must finally be expressed.

I am truly and sincerely grateful to those who visit this weblog and for the opportunity it provides me to touch and be touched by those with whom I share the faith that produced the first Thanksgiving and a determination to pass it on in a robust and uncompromised form.
