There's a moment that I can never forget, that was during my National Youth Service when we had a sent-forth program that was organized by the school management at my place of primary assignment (PPA) for me and my colleagues. This was a moment that I can never forget in my life.
I was overwhelmed with Joy in my heart when the staff of the school began to share their testimonies at that moment, I was speechless and short of words.
When I was allowed to talk, I tried to express my heart of gratitude to the management, staff, and students. It was after this they sent us forth some staff called me to give me gifts which I did not expect in any way.
The vice principal's administration sent for me to come to his office. On getting there he requested to have a picture with me which I was so happy with and we proceeded to take the picture.
It is a very good thing to show a heart of gratitude for a blessing, gift, help, and care doing so will also pave the way for more to come in at another time.
Gratitude is the act of appreciating or thanking someone for a gift received or help received from them.
I realize that showing gratitude is a good thing and everyone is supposed to do it because it will also prompt another one.
In everything we do as human beings, we have to show our heart of gratitude to God because he's the creator of heaven and hearts and also the giver of life.
There was a time in my life when I received a gift from one of my cousins, I was so amazed because the gift that I received was not my expectation in any and the gift meant a lot to me.
The first thing I said was, thank you sir I am very grateful the Lord will bless you. After receiving this gift could you believe that I turned to a Pastor and I began to pray for him in different ways because of what he did for me?
After I had thanked him I told my mother to appreciate him on my behalf because what he did has a great meaning to me. You know that kind of time when someone will dash you #200 and it will be like a hundred thousand that is the condition that I am in, at that time.
I appreciated him for almost a full week and he later told me that Tofunmi is anything you want to gain from all this thank you thank you. He can't imagine how far what he did has gone in my life at that time, I was so excited.
After all the appreciation, I now sat down to think about how to spend the money but later, I decided to use some part of the money to get a new small phone which is still part of my phone to this moment.
Truly, a heart of gratitude is a blessed life. It also open doors for new opportunities, blessing, help to come at another time.
Showing gratitude is not only a good thing but also enables you to have access to more good things
Yes, it pave ways for new opportunities
Showing Gratitude is underrated. YORUBA adage that says

Oye kori imi gba
(if one shows gratitude of d gifts given yesterday, you have d chance of getting another).
Yes oo
It is a very good thing to show a heart of gratitude
