This Saturday, May 26 is the National Day of Thanksgiving. It's a great time to be reminded about the benefits of saying thankyou to the people around us. It is very easy to take people for granted - they do what they do because that's their job, and we expect them to do it well. We easily forget that the person who serves your coffee or registers your purchases at the checkout may enjoy their job, but would really like to know that they are appreciated for what they do.
This week take the time to say thankyou to the people around you. The difference that it makes will occur within you, as well as in them.
One of my favourite Psalms fits this theme:
Psalm 100
A psalm. For giving thanks.
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Have a great week - and thanks for reading this blog.
