However great may be the work for which we are responsible, we will always do well if we pause to spend time in sacred praise.

I think that is a better thing than thanksgiving: thanks-living. How is this to be done? By a general cheerfulness of manner, by an obedience to the command of Him by whose mercy we live, by a perpetual, constant delighting of ourselves in the Lord, and by a submission of our desires to His will.

There is such a thing as 'thanks-feeling' - feeling thankful. This ought to be the general, universal spirit of the Christian.

Charles Spurgeon Quotes
