Thanking a bathroom is understandable, but thanking OOOO is...

Thus I came to learn to thank God for the bathroom. However, one day I was shocked to hear one story that showed me some people goes a way beyond that standard. It was a testimony of thanking a poopoo!

There was a man who was greatly respected by many people for his accomplishments, not only for his external accomplishments but particularly for his great character. One day he gave a testimony sharing his secret of how he became such a man of character. He said that it was highly owing to his grandmother's influence on him.

His grandmother was not an educated woman. She never went to school. But one unique thing about her was she was thanking so much in her daily life. She thanked for a new day, for food, health, fortune, etc. One day, though, he was very embarrased, as a child, to see her thanking her poopoo, even she was bowing to poopoo!

He didn't dare to ask why she was doing it, but he eventually found out why she did it. This was the reason: Think about it if someone comes to your house and help some work in your house such as carpet cleaning. What would you say to him as he comes at the door and about to enter the house? You would say, "Welcome! Thanks for coming." Then he works hard in your house and eventualy he finishes his work, and now he is leaving your house. When he is about to go out, what would you say to him? "Get out! You smell so bad. I never want to see you again!" Of course you wouldn't say that. "Thank you. Thank you for your hard work." That's what you would say. So think about this...

When food comes into your mouth, you say, "Thank you God for the food." as you welcome the food to come into your house and start working in your house. Then, when the food finishes its work in your house and about to go out, what should you say? "Thank you, food, for your hard work, and it is ok to bow to the food who finished the work, as the expression of your gratitude.

Anyway, the point of this great man was that he learned from her grandmother's lifestyle of thanking throughout his young age. He learned that thanking is so powerful, which helped him to mold his character in amazing way. So, now, what can you not thank?
