gratitude
Beneficiary's warm response
Gratitude is the feeling of appreciation for something received or experienced—a gift, a kindness, an unexpected good turn.
It implies recognition that the benefit came from outside oneself: She expressed her gratitude to the doctors who saved her life.
Gratitude can be fleeting or cultivated as a disposition: He kept a gratitude journal.
