Thanksgiving in the Heart
Hebrews 13:15
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.


As flowers carry dewdrops, trembling on the edges of the petals, and ready to fail at the first waft of wind or brush of bird, so the heart should carry its beaded words of thanksgiving; 'and at the first breath of heavenly flavour, let down the shower, perfumed with the heart's gratitude.

(H. W. Beecher.)
