Thank You   

     The oil of social interaction. "Thank you" helps the giver as much as the receiver.

     We can assume God appreciates our "thank you," also. Thanks for the accidents we avoided, the sticks and stones that never hurt us. The grace that covered our bad.  

     How about the failures, got-aways and pains of aging that keep us from fleshly pride. 

     Oh, we lost sometimes - boo hoo - but didn't that make our little victories more satisfying? 

     There were negatives that never were cured, but all the better for trusting in God whose reward up there awaits. This world is not our home, but it still feels good to say, "thank you."
