I want to start off by saying “Thank you, Lord, for all the appreciation that has been shown to me today.”

It has been a long, but good day.  I haven’t felt this appreciated in a while.  Yesterday was my birthday & I got a lot of Birthday wishes, which was really sweet & thoughtful.  They all brightened my day.  Today God has shown me appreciation from all sides. At work, more than 1 person expressed their appreciation for me.  After work, I went to an appreciation dinner at our church for the volunteers.  I felt so genuinely appreciated & loved.

I have been working so much overtime in the past month.  I’ve been so exhausted.  I’m barely awake as I’m writing this.  It felt good to be appreciated today.

It always feels good to be loved & appreciated, but when I am tired & have worked hard, it’s even better.

Now I don’t have to be constantly told how great I am & I don’t need lots of awards.  But it is nice to be told that I’m doing things right & that I’m valuable.  That is what I feel like God is telling me today.  I am valuable.  Thank you, Lord.

God is so good.  He knows exactly what I need & when I need it.

Luke 12:24 – Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them.  And how much more valuable you are than birds!

To all of you reading this.  You are so valuable to God.  He loves you beyond measure.  You’re worth so much more than you think.
