Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~Melody Beattie
What a beautiful thought, Maureen. I really believe that this is why the only thing that "offends" God is ingratitude. I also think it is why it's such wisdom to be encouraged to begin all prayers with expressions of thanks.
