STOP AND THINK – Appreciation can make a day—even change a life; your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary. (Margaret Cousins, writer and editor)

A simple “Thank you” can be a big boost to someone who has served you in some way. The most humble person, serving out of compassion, isn’t looking for thanks, but he or she will be encouraged by it. A mention of appreciation, whether spoken or written, encourages us all and motivates continued good service. Knowing you’ve helped someone is reward enough.

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
