I thank God for you.......Night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.

2 Timothy 1:3 NLT Bible

There are so many people who do nice things for us all the time.....our loved ones, teachers, friends, colleagues and sometimes even strangers. It could simply be a smile, a kind word, a gift or another thoughtful action. Sometimes it's unexpected, but it's just what we need, and at just the right time. How do we react to kindness from someone? Many take it for granted, some are too busy to notice, yet others feel entitled and no one bothers to express their thanks. Luke 17 tells us that Jesus healed ten lepers but only one returned to give thanks. As children of God, we need to always have an attitude of gratitude for whatever is done for us. 

When someone does something nice for us, regardless of how small it may be, we need to express our thanks. What we are actually conveying is that they matter to us and we are thankful, appreciative and blessed because of what they did. There are so many ways to do it. We can verbalize it, reciprocate by doing something nice and most important of all, we can pray, thanking God for them, for their kindness and asking Him to bless and watch over them. Our expression of thanks must always be genuine and heartfelt. God wants us to have a heart of thankfulness for all that we receive. 

Thank you Lord for Your many blessings. I pray that You will bless and watch over those who have been so kind and helpful to me. Help me to not take anyone for granted. I love you Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
