Gratitude is an interesting attribute. Take dogs, for example. They are reliable, grateful and loyal. Unlike cats. Cats are arrogant. But, I love cats anyway.
Gratitude is the memory of the heart. We can be grateful because we remember. We remember those who offer us help, those who stand by our side during our times of sorrow, anxiety, etc. We say Thank You because we are indebted to them. We owe it to them. We hold them and everything they say and do in our hearts. When we realize and appreciate something we have received, which we don't exactly/entirely deserve in the first place; that's gratitude too.
When we pray for someone/something and we receive the blessings, do we say, ''Thank you, God! I'll see you again during my next crisis. Bye!''?
NO, we don't! We are grateful instead. But, where does this gratitude lead us to??
We need gratitude so that we can remember our faith. Concurrently, faith makes and reminds us to be grateful.
In His Grace and Peace
