Thomas Merton writes "To be grateful is to
recognize the Love of God in everything He has given us--and He has given us
everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of
existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him. Gratitude
therefore takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly
awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God. For the grateful
person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is
what makes all the difference."
