Thank you dear God for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough. Thank you for the rain. And for the chance to wake up in three hours and go fishing: I thank you for that now because I won't feel so thankful then.
A lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory like a thunderstorm...
All of us who are members of the Germanic peoples can be happy and thankful...
If you have not chosen the Kingdom of God first it will in the end make no difference what you have chosen instead.
