GRATITUDE IS THE MEMORY OF THE HEART

Gratitude is an instinctive human response.

Human give thanks just like birds sing. Children are taught to say thank you but they hardly need to be taught in the first instance to feel gratitude.

Taking time to give thanks makes us realise the many blessings we have instead of focusing on what we don't have. Gratitude gives us the opportunity to appreciate and value the gifts that are given, and remember those who are less fortunate than us.
