In grateful awe of God
This article was adapted from a podcast called “The heart and soul of gratitude” on JSH-Online.com.

Gratitude is “the quality of being thankful; the readiness to show appreciation for, and to return, kindness.” And I find that, apart from this definition, there are two other words that make the spiritual power of gratitude clearer. One word is praise.
