EVERY NOW AND THEN WE COULD ALL USE A LITTLE PRAISE, WHETHER IT BE FOR YOUR EFFORTS, FAITHFULNESS IN SEEING A JOB TO THE VERY END, OR JUST BEING AVAILABLE. WE ALL COULD USE IT. FUNNY THOUGH, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT GETS PASSED AROUND IN GREAT QUANTITY, YET IT IS THE MOST INEXPENSIVE WAY TO GIVE A PERSON A FACE LIFT. IT DOESN'T COST ANYTHING EXCEPT A MERE THOUGHT AND A SINCERE HEART.
GIVING PRAISE TO OUR KIDS IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT CREATES SELF-WORTH, SELF-ESTEEM. IF WE GIVE OUR KIDS THE PRAISE NOW WHILE THEY ARE STILL DEVELOPING AS AN INDIVIDUAL, 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 THEY WILL NOT LOOK FOR IT ELSEWHERE. PRAISE CAN EVEN GO FAR IN THE WORK PLACE. TRY IT! TELL A CO-WORKER HOW MUCH YOU APPRECIATE THEIR SUPPORT WHEN THE WORK GETS TOO BUSY, OR HOW WELL THEY LOOK. PRAISE IS A HEALTHY PRACTICE, WHO KNOWS, MAYBE YOU'LL RECIEVE ONE TODAY.
Raising a family is not for the faint of heart nor for those without it. It's like going on a great adventure! You never know what's up the mountain, around the bend or in the valley. The responsibilities can be overwhelming, but fear not!!! God has never forsaken those who trust in Him. I know a little bit about that....let me encourage you!
