Appreciation

Dear Lord,

I thank You for the times when people express their appreciation.  Though I know that their appreciation should not be the reason for which I do what I do, it is certainly nice to receive.  I pray that You continue to keep my focus on You and on Your Word.  Help me to keep Colossians 3:23 in mind: “Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men[.]”  Thank You, though, for the icing on the cake.

In Jesus’ Name, amen.
