Gratitude is the positive emotional experience resulting from the recognition that another person has given you a benefit. So gratitude to others is sometimes in order but gratitude to God is always in order, for he is our Creator without whom we have no hope.
I fell asleep last night going through a list in my head, just thanking God for everything this year. Then I log in here and see this. Perfect timing!!
