A Heart of Appreciation

I've been doing some self-evaluations on my way to work and school recently. And a question came up to me: Am i appreciative of others, or do i show enough appreciation when I'm really thankful to people?

I guess maybe some of you are also pondering about this, and I'm gonna blog my thoughts down. :P 

Since young, I haven't been brought up in a "lovey-dovey"family. With all the experiences, ups-and-downs, when a word/action of love & concern, my heart will melt easily. But this also teaches me to be wise in loving others, showing love & concern to people does matters, matters a lot. However, they are also people who chooses to avoid being loved, hence they are be the people who keeps their love bank to themselves. 

I choose to a person of love, and love brings down to be appreciative of others. I may not show THE best appreciation, but it's definitely MY best. 

If you know me well, i don't like, or rather choose not to "owe" people. The simplest example is that, when you bless me with something, i will try to find a way to bless you back. In fact, i really love to bless others and be a blessing to others. 

Being belonged to both the working force and the schooling environment motivates me to know others well, know what they like and what they don't, and blessing each individual. Like what i said, i may not bless the best things on Earth, but its my best. :)

This simply shows that I appreciate them in my life, hence i want to bless and give. 

Like what we always know: You can love without giving, but you can't give without loving.

I want to be even more appreciative of others in my life, especially my loved ones. 

1 Cor 13:1-3
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing
