Appreciation!

Appreciation is received by the soul like rain after a drought!!! It is so life giving.  Appreciation is also a significant motivator. Much in life is taken for granted. A simple thank you or acknowledgement goes a long way to encourage a weary heart. What do you appreciate about the people around you?  Tell Them.

Action: Think of 3 things you have taken for granted today and say thank you. It can be really simple.  Some examples…

-          Thanks for dinner. What a great meal!

-          Thanks for filling the car with gas. I appreciate it.

-          Thanks for doing the wash. This shirt smells so good.

-          Wow, the kitchen looks so clean. I sure like the way you take care of things.

-          You do an amazing job with the yard, thank you.

-          You look good. I appreciate the way you take care of yourself.

-          You are so patient. I sure appreciate it.

You get the idea…
