There's a well known quote that says "A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success" and it's very true. Taking time to express our thanks to someone or to encourage them is always worth the effort.
Some poems about appreciation for you -
Beauty Of Our Friendship by : Unknown
Friendship is a Priceless Gift that cannot be bought or sold, But its value is far greater than a mountain made of Gold. Friendship is a Priceless Gift that cannot be bought or sold, But its value is far greater than a mountain made of Gold. For gold is cold and lifeless, it can neither see nor hear And in the time of trouble it is powerless to cheer-- It has no ears to listen nor heart to understand, It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand So when you ask God for a gift Be thankful if HE sends not diamonds, pearls or riches But The Love of Real True Friends.
Some years ago a friend of mine gave me one of those small "Pass It On" cards with the following words on it. This stands on my dressing table so that I can see it and be encouraged by each morning:-
A friend is one who knows who you are, understands where you have been, accepts who you have become and still gently invites you to grow.
(I believe this may be a direct quote from Shakespeare)
Voltaire said "Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well."
We often don't think it's important to take the time to let people know how we feel and how much we value them - just a simple card or phone call can make a huge difference and bring encouragement to their life.
