thanks...

what a great word...thanks. it makes the person saying it and the person receiving it feel good. it really does. it is a word that puts the focus on an act that the other person did. thanks for what you did for me, i really appreciated that.

it is also a word that will encourage the other person to do something good again. that would really be a good thing, wouldn't it? the truth is most of our communication is over what someone doesn't do or about something that was bad that they did do and no one comes out a winner in that focus.

what about GOD? HE is the only one that keeps doing good stuff even when we don't say thanks. thanks to HIM is not for HIM but for us. it gets our focus on the good stuff and off the bad. and that really helps us in the way we view our life. it shows us that someone really cares.

personally, i just wanted to say thanks to you for just stopping here on my front porch and listening to me and my thoughts. thanks for taking the time. thanks, i really mean it, thanks.
