Sometimes the simple things are the most powerful. Take for instance the single word Thanks. Have you stopped to think about how powerful that little 6 letter word can be when used with meaning?
I am reading a new book by Tim Sanders entitled, Today We Are Rich, and in the book there is an entire chapter dedicated to gratefulness. It is a great book that will be released this next Wednesday, so Monday I will be reviewing it here. Stop back by next week to get my thoughts on it.
In the chapter on gratitude, Tim says this, “When you begin to exercise gratefulness toward a ‘who’ and not just appreciation for the ‘what,’ you are extending gratitude fully.”
You can change a person’s day with a heartfelt thanks. When we stop and think about it, we can always think of things for which we are grateful. But do we dig deeper to think of the folks we appreciate? Take some time right now to think of two people you appreciate. Stop and thank God for them this morning. Then find some way to let them know how you feel.
Who do you need to say “thanks” to today?
