It's nice to be appreciated! Sadly, people today often fail to appreciate those they love and value. The busyness of life can leave little or no time to stop and express a little appreciation along the way.
Having commenced our twelth year of ministry recently, we are pleased to be able to say that we have always made it a priority to express appreciation to those who share alongside us in leadership support roles. Our experience has always shown that the impact of providing a word of encouragement and praise is like a stone being thrown into the water ~ the ripples of personal and corporate spiritual effect are both wide and far-reaching. And, more often than not, the rewards of appreciating others have a habit of returning to bless the giver.
Is there someone you need to really express your appreciation to? Someone who would benefit from a word of personal encouragement and praise? I'm sure there is. Don't wait ~ simply appreciate!
