Gratitude for the Small Things

Only he who gives thanks for little things receives the big things.  We prevent God from giving us the great spiritual gifts He has in store for us, because we do not give thanks for daily gifts.  We think we dare not be satisfied with the small measure of spiritual knowledge, experience, and love that has been given to us, and that we must constantly be looking forward eagerly for the highest good. . . . How can God entrust great things to one who will not thankfully receive from Him the little things?  (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
