In a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.

A joyful spirit is evidence of a grateful heart.

I know that when I pray, something wonderful happens. Not just to the person or persons for whom I'm praying, but also something wonderful happens to me. I'm grateful that I'm heard.

I'm grateful to be an American. I am grateful that we can be angry at the terrorist assault and at the same time be intelligent enough not to hold a grudge against every Arab and every Muslim.
