Ways to Express Gratitude

One way to cause delight to someone else's feelings is to appreciate him or her with the little things he or she has done to you. Commonly, it may be in words like "Thank you!",or in actions like a simple smile, or a tight hug. But, there are so many ways to express gratitude, like:

leaving a greeting card or note,

giving a colorful present--bouquet of fragrant flowers,

treating him or her lunch in your favorite dining place

or your favorite pizzeria,

hanging out somewhere to relax and enjoy,

movie-watching,

 or sharing some quality time.

I just want to share this to be a friendly reminder for everyone; that we should always be thankful for everything to everyone. This is for the people who are very grateful to have 'good Samaritans' around them; family, friends, special someone, acquaintances or even strangers. For we cannot do everything without their help, support, and love. As the saying goes, "No one is an island. No one stands alone."; we are her to grow, live, and enjoy life with others. And, most especially there is this one who is the ultimate provider of everything we have! We know it's Him, our God, who's worthy to be praised. ^^,

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

1 Thessalonians 5:18

We cannot have, control, own, claim, create, invent, or possess everything in this world.
He is the only everything.

That's why I must always smile...

I do not want to ruin somebody's suppose-to-be-perfect-happy day that's why I always make sure to wear my sweetest smile whenever some acquaintances, some people I somehow know by face, and most especially my friends who pass across my direction. Even when I feel troubled or disgusted by some of my fellows around. My problems must solely be mine and I should not let those be the reasons to cast a frown in my face. It's not plasticity for me. I just want to spread a healthy virus--it is to smile! :)

Like this. :)

Just got to keep going...

"There is more to life than sitting in our comfort zone. We were made for something more than merely avoiding failure. There is something inside us that wants to walk on the water -- to leave the comfort of routine existence and abandon ourselves to the high adventure of following God's lead for a greater and worthy pursuit."-- JayRadaRafol

That's why, I truly believe that it's still worth not giving up amidst the challenges I have encountered. This is for me to grow, to be stronger for what is ahead, and to be a wise responder (a wiser one); I must know. I just need a little support from those who still believe in me--even at my worst. And, most especially from the One who keeps me going. :-)
