( Gratitude ) A ship was sunk in Lake Michigan, USA. Many people on board were drowned in the lake with the sinking of the ship. However, at the time, a swimmer who was a student at the Northwestern University did his best to rescue 23 people.
One day, many years after that, Dr. R.A. Torrey was preaching in Los Angeles. Talking about the sinking of a ship in Lake Michigan a long time ago, he came to praise the courage and humanity of the then young college swimmer.
But the young man at that time was sitting and listening to the sermon as an old man. After the sermon, Dr. Torrey was surprised to learn that the culprit was there. And then, when asked what was the most impressive thing about the incident, the old man said in a low voice that not a single person said thank you.
Gratitude is like a fire that warms our lives. A world full of resentment, complaints, and dissatisfaction is like a cold country. Thank you.
A warm word such as "You did a good job" can make the surroundings of your life fragrant like the scent of flowers.

(Thanks to Marty) About one hundred and eighty years ago, there was a famous German politician named Marty. He used to be the Chancellor of Germany, but because he had a free idea, he resigned from politics and suffered. Even when he went out he didn't have shoes, so he went out only once or twice.
One day, while walking into the chapel barefoot, I saw a crippled man without two legs begging at the door of the chapel, and I went in, saying (Oh, I am so grateful that you gave me these strong legs, even though I do not have shoes). He said that he gave thanks, but there was no other day when he received such grace as that day.
