Weekly Thoughts

Gratitude, or giving thanks, is one of the loftiest expressions of the human mind. If a man is truly grateful for blessings received, he opens the door of consciousness for further bounties. But gratitude must be expressed. Just saying we are grateful is not enough. Mere lip service or reiteration of gratitude will not do. Thanksgiving is thanks-living. Let everyone who feels grateful perform some good deed or service to others.

Thoughts by the late Rev. Paul Osumi are selected weekly by his family.
