1. Appreciation

A complete understanding of something!

2. Appreciation

To give thanks or show gratitude

3. Appreciation

To increase in value

Brothers and sisters, I come to you this thanksgiving day to remind you to remain alert. Life is a turbulent journey with many stops.

Some are ugly, filled with pain, depression, suffering and hurt. It is easy to curse these times and regret the turns you made that brought you to this stop but in that moment, remember to refer to the first definition of Appreciation – understand all that’s happening around you. There is always much to learn, and a lot to have gratitude for!

Others are pleasant, filled with laughter and love. Remember to apply the 2nd definition of Appreciation – Be thankful! We are such flawed beings and we are not entitled to anything! All we have, we must be thankful for!

It is through the above two that we can experience the third definition of Appreciation – An increase in value. A multiplication of God’s goodness and grace!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I believe it is no coincidence

It’s more logical than science

In whatever your situation

Pause for a thorough evaluation

For in every environment

There is something meant to be learnt

For it is only when we learn to be the thankful

That our fruits will be multiplied tenfold
