"It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude".
~Wallace Wattles
For the beauty of the earth, for the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth, over and a round us lies,
Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
For the beauty of each hour of the day and of the night.
Hill and vale, and tree and flow'r, sun and moon and stars of light.
Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
For the joy of human love, brother sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild.
Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.

Below are some pictures of the York Minster, since it is Sunday it seems appropriate. These I took on our visit there in August. I am truly grateful we were able to see this amazing building.

| York Minster In York, England- It is the largest Gothic cathedral in Europe |

| The windows tell the stories in the scriptures. This is how many people learned for hundreds of years without having access to a Bible for the general public. There are 128 stained glassed windows and the largest medieval stained glass window in the U.K. |

| The church wasn't too happy with this king, so he got a short robe. I cannot remember which king this is. |
 |
| Archbishops are buried all over in the minster. Some even have pets like the one below. |

| He looks grateful. |
