APPRECIATION

There is a quality that most people possess, the ability to appreciate the 'gifts' that come their way.

For me, appreciation has become a way of life, a reminder that I am supported by grace and an awareness that God is showing me, in so many ways, how much He loves me.

It's easy to lose appreciation for all that is done for us. Just one moment of feeling we are not appreciated, can blind us to the truth that we are constantly receiving from God, through others.

We walk down the street and someone smiles and says hello. This is appreciation / a recognition of who we are.

We are invited to respond and show our appreciation. A circle of goodness is formed and expands out to all we meet.

This awareness of being appreciated and showing our appreciation for others will keep love alive in our lives.
