“Therefore
encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among
you, who care for you in the LORD and who admonish you. Hold them in the
highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11-13 NIV)
You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total
of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere
appreciation to someone who could really use it. It may be someone who is
lonely or discouraged. It may be your spouse, your pastor, the nurse who cared
for you, the clerk at the store, your Bible study leader, the waitstaff at the
restaurant, or your child’s teacher. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind
words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.
