Thankfulness Is the Seed for More – Part 6
Dr RJ Sing · 1 min read
“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, Bless and affectionately praise His Name.”
Do not take for granted that your husband is “supposed to bring home the paycheck and do not assume that it is a woman’s place to clean up the house and prepare the meals.” Appreciation of those around you will make you unforgettable. Find ways to express your appreciation, do it verbally, speak kind words of appreciation and do it privately.
When no one else is around, be gentle in expressing your true appreciation and gratefulness, seal your appreciation with a gift and do it publicly. Others need to hear that you know and appreciate what God has blessed you with. Do it openly, not just once a year at a birthday or an anniversary and do it generously. Go the extra mile when you buy a gift for someone special, whom you love and appreciate. Do it thoughtfully and do it quickly.
If someone has blessed your life significantly, do not wait several months or years to express it. Try to establish the habit of responding to an act of kindness within 72 hours and do it cheerfully. When you express your appreciation do not do it grudgingly as if it is a pain or an effort. You will become unforgettable to every friend in your life. Exude gratitude continuously.
From the October 2017 issue, themed Living Life To The Full.
