Appreciation Nov 21 2007
"...in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Have you ever given a gift to or done a favor for someone who didn't express appreciation? It's not much fun and certainly doesn't inspire us to give to that person again. If we're honest, we all have to admit that we've failed to say thank you.
Think about the people in service positions we encounter daily. Do you thank the folks at the dry cleaners when your shirts are ready when promised? How about saying thanks to the person behind the counter in the fast food restaurant? Do you express appreciation to the people in your office who answer the phone or process the mail?
Everyone likes to be appreciated, to hear "thank you" for things they've done well. Why not start today by saying thanks to the people who make your day run so smoothly. While you're at it, thank God for all His blessings in your life.
Saying "thank you" is always appreciated. It sure makes the day a bit brighter.

Yes, report it NevermindThank you for this reminder. This is a quality we often take for granted. But one well worth remembering. Gratitude has to be taught, and our focus needs to be on what we DO have and not what we think we are owed.
I am thankful for your staff and all they add to my life daily. I am thankful to JFBC for all the support, and teaching of God's truth that I am led to each week. I am thankful for the challenges presented in each message. You have helped equip me for life's storms. :)
May God richly continue to bless you all and may he pour our His love continually on your staff.
Gratefully, Jan Ficarrotta
