“which is why we have to work on being constantly be grateful to Hashem for all the kindliness he showers upon us every moment, every breath, every heartbeat, every moment we are alive.”
Good point!
By the same token that a basar vadam expects to be acknowledged, appreciated and even compensated lest they be considered an ingrate, we should expect as much of ourselves and consciously count our blessings and thank H-shem for it. And just as we want to continue helping some one who appreciates us, so will H-shem.
