I think that 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.
A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.
