Appreciated and appreciating

Read some notes today as I cleaned out some old papers.  There was a time where people appreciated my humour, my spontaneity and caring ways.  There are people that noticed my contributions and appreciated it.  Funny how we sometimes do not feel appreciated by those who are closest to us.  By the people we believe should appreciate us the most?

What have I stopped doing that no longer merits the appreciation I once felt?  What should I be doing differently to feel that appreciation once again in my home?  Do I need to feel appreciated?

If there is no encouragement, no recognition, no appreciation, then the motivation is hard to find, but if you are doing everything with God in mind, then do I need earthly thanks?

What is the most important will be the kingdom investment and not necessarily the earthly one, though being of this world, it was certainly nice to be reminded that I am appreciated and have been for who I am.

Is there someone I should be expressing my appreciation to that I have not?  Need to be thinking about that.

God bless.
