Just a few different ways in which we can praise someone for something they have done to help you or others.
How often do we say them though?
When a word is so short and simple it is easy to forget to say it yet it's one of the first things we learn and I remember being reminded about my 'Ps&Qs' (Please and Thank you's).
Saying thank you is more than just being polite or well mannered though it's about realising that someone has done something to help, to support you or to just be there when you needed it. A simple thank you can go a long way and can mean so much to someone even if we don't realise it.
I believe that as we grow up we lose our loving nature we had as a child to love one another no matter what. As a child it is constantly said to you to be kind, to help one another, to be polite, friendly so why do we sometimes lose that as we get older?
I was reminded of this a while back when I heard a young person praying. A lot of their prayers were saying thank you to God, even when there were things that were difficult to pray about they still said thank you. It made me think, how much do we complain about things and look at the negative before saying thank you?
I challenge you today to say thank you more and mean it. Don't just throw the word around mindlessly actually realise what someone is doing and really say thank you for it. It could impact their day or their week.
To be kind to one another may seem simple but it could have huge rewards. Imagine what could change if their was more kindness in the world?
A simple thank you can make a change.
