  • I have strong doubts that the first Thanksgiving even remotely resembled the 'history' I was told in second grade.

  • Praise God even when you don't understand what He is doing.

  • I'm from Canada, so Thanksgiving to me is just Thursday with more food. And I'm thankful for that.

  • Cooking Tip: Wrap turkey leftovers in aluminum foil and throw them out.

  • It was dramatic to watch my grandmother decapitate a turkey with an ax the day before Thanksgiving. Nowadays the expense of hiring grandmothers for the ax work would probably qualify all turkeys so honored with gourmet status.

  • Neither the praise nor the blame is our own.

  • Do not allow your heart to take pleasure with the praises of people, nor be saddened by their condemnation.

  • As a rule, so-called "positional" sacrifices are considered more difficult, and therefore more praise-worthy, than those which are based exclusively on an exact calculation of tactical possibilities.

  • I was one thing at one time, and I'm something new. I'm a new creature now. Don't judge Alice by what he used to be. Praise God for what I am now.
