Thanks

God doesn't really need to hear a "thank you." Yet we need to become people who never fail to be grateful. How shameful to go through life without expressing thanks to God for [God's] gifts. Get into the habit of taking divine blessings for granted, and you'll be just as ungracious to your parents, to your husband or wife, or to your friends. Who wants to have a relationship with someone like that? All of us ought to share the sentiment of the Hasidic rabbi who regularly prayed, "O God, You have given so much to me, I dare to ask You to give me one thing more -- a grateful heart." -- Benjamin Blech, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Judaism
