Sometimes you see some of the Olympic gold medallists of our country kneel and thank God the moment when the medals are determined. It is the most beautiful scene in the world to kneel, pray and thank God for his grace. In Millet's Angelus, the husband and wife, finishing the day's work, pray to God with thanksgiving. They thank God that he gave them good health, job, beloved spouse and children. When you look at this picture, it warms your heart, because such an attitude is the most solemn feature of man. Someone has his own advantages, but uses them in sinning and offending God. Woman of beautiful face and man of wealth corrupt easily. What do they lack that they live such a life? They lack thankful mind for the grace of God. A man who is grateful can not be of evil mind. A grateful man spends what he received in grace glorifying God and helping neighbors. Do not bow to and thank false gods or vain stone idols, but give thanks to the true God who created heaven and earth!
