Thank You Notes

"At the resurrection God will say to his servant," Tell me, what have you done with that which I bestowed on you?"
The servant will reply," O Lord, I gave thanks to You with all my soul, since the source of my daily bread and provision was in You."
Then God will say to him, " No, you did not give thanks to Me, inasmuch as you did not give thanks to the ones who made a practice of generosity.
You have done wrong and displayed injustice to those who were generous with you: did not my bounty come to you through their hands?"

Rumi (Vol.6 3259-3263)

Commentary; I need to be writing more thank you notes; especially as I learn who is behind all this giving and generosity...
