The words Thank you are two of the most powerful words to They convey heartfelt appreciation and gratefulness which, when rightly expressed, leave an indelible impression of your sincere gratitude and evoke joy in the hearts of the recipients.
Also, when you make someone glad, it'll relax your nerves and gladden your spirit! Therefore, every so often, ask yourself, Who am I going to appreciate today? Let it be part of your daily plan. Someone, somewhere, should get a call, a visit, a card or a gift from you to say, Thank You! I like it when I'm able to call someone to say, Thank you.
Some people find it difficult to express gratitude even when occasion
warrants it. But the counsel of the Lord is clear: express gratitude
always and in all things. When you go out and an attendant offers you
any form of assistance, don't forget to say, Thank you.
In church,
or at the theatre or some event, when the usher shows you to a seat,
don't sit down without saying, Thank you. When a cab driver takes you
safely to your destination, don't alight without saying, Thank you!
All these are simple everyday situations that we experience, and
sometimes, we don't realize we ought to be thankful for these things.
If you're a parent, learn to say Thank you to your kids when they do something nice. As a couple, say Thank you to your spouse for the things you do for each other. When people do things for you, be it a favour or even something they're obliged to do, practise saying, Thank you. You'll be amazed at the joy and fulfilment you'll experience as a result.
CONFESSION:
I'm rooted and built up in the Lord, strengthened in the faith and overflowing with thankfulness! Every day, I'm inspired to express my gratitude to God for those through whom He blesses me daily. Therefore, I walk in favour, joy, and fulfilment. Amen.
