I am Grateful for God's love

My house isn't fancy. I don't have any money. I've struggled for everything I have, but I am grateful for God's love, my loving family and true friends.

“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” —Gilbert K. Chesterton

“Learn to be thankful for what you already have, while you pursue all that you want.” —Jim Rohn

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” —Oprah Winfrey

“ ‘Thank you’ is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.” —Alice Walker

“Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.” —Henri Frederic Amiel

I will always need my children, no matter what age I am.

"My children have always been great inspiration for me, and great teachers, and keep me very close to the ground and very humble." Wayne Dyer, In Spirit

I want my kids to have the things in life that I never had when I was growing up. Things like beards and chest hair.

When you have brought up kids, there are memories you store directly in your tear ducts.

You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.

The reason I love kids so much is because they’re so honest, so you know right away if they like you or they don’t.

Kids are kids the world around. No matter what, if you give them a soccer ball, a deck of cards, or anything, and if you close your eyes, you would never know where you were from the sound of it. It's just incredible to hear them laughing. I know that what I'm getting is far more than anything I possibly can give them. Fay Deavignon
