The thankful have a way of making us feel so good that it causing us to strive to do even more.
On the other hand, the thankless have a way of causing us to regret anything we've ever done for them.
Romans 1:20-22 reminds us of this, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools.”
