Gratitude, Part 2

The root of the word gratitude is grat, which comes from the Latin word gratus which means "pleasing" or "thankful." I like the connection that can be made in the knowledge that our being thankful is pleasing unto our Father in Heaven. I also think it is a perfect correlation that those who are grateful have a pleasing demeanor about them. They are pleasing to be around because grateful people generally are not selfish or full of pride. I would like to be such a pleasing person to be around.
