The number one need for people - aside from food clothing and shelter - is acceptance and recognition. How many times do I forget to say thank you - or forget to just brighten someone's day with a thoughtful and sincere compliment. I am certainly quick to feel that someone ignored me, or didn't appreciate my contribution. That thinking is very self-centered - and against what Jesus teaches us - to die to self. Giving praise to others is not only easy - it's fun, And the takeaway is their happiness. What could be better than that?
