Today I was reminded of the importance of giving thanks while feeding 25 high school kids. Every single one of them very freely expressed and showed their gratitude for the meal provided. Their enjoyment was so obvious it simply seeped all the way through me. Though the preparation was a lot of work, I felt so elated after it was all said and done that I wouldn't blink an eye to do it all again.
It reminded of how important it is to SHOW gratitude and what a difference it can make in a person's life. By saying 'thank you' you are acknowledging another person's effort and letting them know that the deed was noticed and appreciated.
Everyone of us wants to be seen and appreciated. So how about it? Take time out of your day today to give thanks to someone you take for granted, to someone you think could benefit, to anyone for that matter. Bring some joy to another person's life. It'll make your life brighter too! :)
