“Emit gratitude as though it was done”

“Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.”

“We can say that true gratitude does not give rise to the debtor's ethic because it gives rise to faith in future grace. With true gratitude there is such a delight in the worth of God's past grace, that we are driven on to experience more and more of it in the future...it is done by transforming gratitude into faith as it turns from contemplating the pleasures of past grace and starts contemplating the promises of the future. ”

“Gallantry emits respect.”

“This, I think, is how people survive: Even when horrible things have been done to us, we can still find gratitude in one another.”

“To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.”
