Gratitude = Doing Dishes

Gratitute requires action. I have heard that the difference between thankfulness and gratitude is similar to going to eat at someone else's house. A thankful person will compliment the good food and company. A grateful person will clean off the table and help with the dishes.

    DEAR ABBY'S PRAYER
    Oh, Heavenly Father,
    We thank thee for food and
    remember the hungry.
    We thank thee for health and
    remember the sick.
    We thank thee for freedom and
    remember the enslaved.
    May these remembrances stir
    US TO SERVICE.
    That thy gifts to us may be
    USED FOR OTHERS.
    Amen.

  3. God used the dish washer to lead me to Christ...although there were several individuals with more formalized training. It was his spirit that caused me to listen. To this day...dish washers consistantly turn my head.
