I agree that ...Thank you Bernie, for your thoughts. I agree that we should all do our best to show gratitude. And I definitely feel it is something that I personally need to improve on. This is not the <A HREF="http://www.heissatopia.com/2008/08/thank-you-for-moving-us.html?showComment=1219166460000" REL="nofollow">first time</A> I've written about this...indeed, I feel guilty about it every time I receive a thank-you card for anything. Inshallah, one day I will be able to finish them and get it off my conscience! Unfortunately I lack the resources to do it here, so it will wait...for another year or more...until I live in a place that has a postal system :)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-28457209287705403002008-12-25T18:04:00.000-05:002008-12-25T18:04:00.000-05:00Dear Nancy and whoever else hasn't sent out thank ...Dear Nancy and whoever else hasn't sent out thank you's for presents, I had only one thought...the 10- lepers - and only one returned to give thanks. It says in the scriptures something about in nothing is the Lord displeased so much as in the sin of ingratitude.<BR/><BR/>I know that we are all involved in the busyness of this world, but when someone takes the time, or spends the money or does both for your benefit and does not receive an effort on your part of thanks,it indicates ingratitude.<BR/><BR/>I presume that we have too much nowadays and really don't need the things we have been given, or maybe we would be a little more conscious of the generosity and often sacrifices of others on our behalf.<BR/><BR/>Sorry if I sound like a generation out of time, but some principles, like gratitude are eternal and shouldn't be taken lightly.<BR/><BR/>Also there is not statute of limitations on expressions of gratitude. Sorry about this comment but the sentiments about haunting until your dying day are a conscience that maybe knows what to do battling with the world that does otherwise.<BR/><BR/>Love you Nancy!<BR/>BernieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-61831544912483727002008-12-15T08:08:00.000-05:002008-12-15T08:08:00.000-05:00Thanks, Shaille (with an accent).

I even tried and then lost them and then tried again and then, because I had made them all, even the envelopes, they were too small to send and needed extra postage, and by this point I gave up!
