Character and Conduct – 21 November – Causes of Thankfulness
O GOD, animate us to cheerfulness!
O GOD, animate us to cheerfulness!
THOU that hast given so much to me, Give one thing more – a grateful heart.
THE secret of the joy of living is the proper appreciation of what we actually possess.
When things first got to goin’ wrong with me, I says, ‘Oh, Lord, whatever comes, keep me from gettin’ sour.’…
I PACK my troubles in as little compass as I can for myself, and never let them annoy others
if we knew ‘the hour and the day’ of our Lord’s return we might be tempted to behave a little more like Christ as the Day approaches. And what kind of fair-weather (or more correctly Apocalyptic-weather) disciples would that prove us to be?
TO repel one’s cross is to make it heavier.
NOTHING can bring you peace but yourself, nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principle.
DO not let your head run upon that which is none of your own,
IT is self-centred people that are lonely-the richer the gift, the richer the giver.
