This week's "Word to Live By" is APPRECIATE. For some, that's an easy one to apply. We can appreciate the extra hour of sleep (thanks to Daylight Savings Time), the beauty of fall leaves displaying their rich hues, and on a deeper level, the sacrifice of veterans who served our country to secure our freedoms.
Basically, applying the word "appreciate" means living in a constant attitude of gratitude, regardless of circumstances.
Yet, that's not always easy. There may be times we feel others do not appreciate our efforts on their behalf, or situations challenge us to concentrate on what IS going well or working right rather than what isn't. Still, God's Word reminds us to "Do everything without complaining or arguing", so we might as well replace those negative tendencies with positive appreciation!
No doubt, our perceptions will change as we APPRECIATE all that we have, including difficulties which remind us to depend upon God's power and trust in His sovereignty.
This week, please join me and my friends Linda and Dalene on their "Weekly Words to Live By" Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/
I hope you know how much i appreciate you!
we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it!
