(Excerpt from a discussion on gifts and response)
Allah makes an unconditional gift work in ways that are not apparent to us at all times. Waiting for the word "thanks" or greetings cards on one's big days or a cash (immediate) repayment for one's acts is to ask too little of God who may be putting one's gift or love or care to a far greater benefit and work in existence than one may be able to fathom.
That said, what a bonus it is when we are touched by outward expressions of love, happiness, gratitude, kindness. Allah gives us everything Hu gives as and when we need it, giving us the right gift and lesson at the right time.
