One of the things we may fail to do frequently in our journey towards holiness is to express our gratitude, primarily to God but also for others. Gratitude should be part of our daily lives as anything that is of value and important. It helps us to remember how much we are dependent on others for so much in our lives. One of the ways to ensure that we live a grateful life is at the end of the day before bed to take a few minutes before the Lord to recall the blessings we received during the day. Not only has God blessed us, especially in things we take for granted, but we have been blessed by God through others. Someone has aptly said: "Gratitude begets gratitude, just as love begets love."  God delights in a grateful heart.
