And why do you consider it the greatest?

He helped me deal with my messy past, helping me get in touch with a mother who had disowned me and that I'd not seen in 10 years, he helped me get in touch with my children who I'd had no contact with for several years; he showed me, by example, what it means to live a spiritual life.
I'm forever grateful to this man. But he tells me gratitude is an action, so I have to try and do for others what he did for me; and I love it.
I'm a bit choked up just thinking about him to be honest, the big softie I am.
Do you mean like a Guru @misterCope?

Why don't you share too?
for the many small things, everyday...by all sorts of people. Instead of the
greatest...how about the latest?
Gratitude to my friend Jeanette....AKA...crochet lady. She's my
partner in community service and is always motivating me. She
inspires me to no end.
Upon return from his travels....Riverflow
brought goodies for everyone. And I'm not talking a state
magnet....lololol.
I love stationary, and he brought me back a box of beautiful note cards, with
a delicate cut out of a bicycle with a basket on the front. The light shines
through, and the shadow of the bike can be seen as you open it. Gorgeous!
Gratitude for our platform for learning here at NB!
Gratitude for my breath this very moment. ........
OK....the greatest...the person who taught me Lamaze. lololol

It's all who led me to here.
It seems I spend my life going out of my way to help others and make their lives easier, far more giving than taking. I believe I am where I am today and have what I have because of who I am and the hard work and determination I have. There's very little actually that I can pinpoint where someone has gone out of their way to help me. This makes me a little sad to be honest because I don't know if that is a reflection on me or just the way my life is.
The one thing I can think of is my gratitude to my employer for continuing to pay me when I had to take time off work due to serious ill health. I'd only been there for 3 months before ending up in hospital for over 3 weeks and having a further 4-5 weeks off at home. They didn't have to do anything for me and I wasn't entitled to anything. 5 years later I'm still there and have no plans to work anywhere else.
Now I know for true that I can acomplish anything on my own.

Im sat here genuinly trying to think of someone and something that I could write.. Im finding this really hard.
I guess this could only mean either some people are more lucky than others OR ive got a bad memory beause i honestly cant think of anyone who has done something GREAT for me..
Dont get me wrong, im sure people have been kind towards me here and there, but to think of the GREATEST thing someone has done for me is hard.. (Genuinly)
This has really effected me if im being honest. Ive never been asked a question that has had an effect like this.. Im going to have a good deep think and ill get back here soon.
Or.. when a toy has fallen outside her range and she cries but her parents persevere the agony of not giving her the toy. In the end she learns to crawl to get the toy.
These moments have been the greatest gifts. At those times my parents, teachers and senseis thaught me to rely on myself, trust my own ability and depend on my own judgment.
