The Proper Enjoyment of Blessings

By Hannah More

Nothing raises the price of a blessing like its removal; whereas it was its continuance, which should have taught us its value. There are three requisitions to the proper enjoyment of earthly blessings—a thankful reflection on the goodness of the Giver, a deep sense of our unworthiness, a recollection of the uncertainty of long possessing them. The first should make us grateful, the second humble, and the third moderate.—Hannah More.
