“It is not doing the thing we like to do, but liking the thing we have to do, that makes life blessed.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? / For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.”
Bible
“Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate”
William Arthur Ward
“A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults.”
Charles Kingsley
“Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some”
Charles Dickens
“Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.”
W. T. Purkiser
“When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place”
C.S. Lewis
