Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for Epicurus 300 B.C.

Eph 5:3-4 Don’t allow love to turn into lust, setting off a downhill slide into sexual promiscuity, filthy practices, or bullying greed.

Thanksgiving is our dialect.
