"Expressing gratitude for all things should be the fundamental attitude of all children of God. For instance, God has given us our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and brain. Our eyes enable us to see, our ears enable us to hear, our mouths enable us to speak, and our bodies enable us to move about. We need to realise that our being able to do all these things shows that we have already received superabundant protection and help from God. Without the earth it would not be possible for humankind to exist. Without the trees, grasses, rivers, and mountains of our planet, human beings would not be able to live. Unless we learn to be grateful for all these things that bring delight to our senses of sight and touch, our future will be bleak."
