Summary

This quote suggests that having a grateful heart allows one to recognize the blessings and goodness in every moment. An unthankful heart fails to see any acts of kindness or mercy, while a thankful heart actively seeks out and discovers heavenly blessings in every hour. It implies that gratitude acts as a magnet, attracting the positive elements in life, just as a magnet is drawn to iron. Thus, cultivating a grateful attitude enables one to appreciate and cherish the small but significant blessings that surround us each day.
