Those who know how to thank, know how to grow and receive even more gifts from God. Often we do not know how to deservedly thank God for everything that He gives us. The Evangelist Luke teaches that the prayer of thanksgiving is the mightiest prayer. That one, who knows how to thank, will receive even more blessings and God's kindnesses and gifts.
