9 Uplifting Gratitude Quotes

First, a depth of gratitude goes to our heavenly Father for sparing all our lives, for breathing His breath into our nostrils and bringing us to a state of consciousness today. Second, gratitude goes to our family, friends and loved ones, even ‘strangers’ who we meet along the way – kind words, some act of kindness, encouragement, motivation and even inspiration.

On this day that has been set aside on EMB to show gratitude, I’ve put together a variety of quotes that I have found to be uplifting and trust that you too will be inspired and uplifted by them..
