Who doesn't love a compliment? We all love flattering words that make us feel noticed. I wore my pink monogrammed jacket this morning to church. A friend asked me if the 'A' was for Awesome? I smiled and said yes. If we all know how good a compliment feels to us personally, and we do, then why isn't our speech filled with them? Your words can be the difference in somebody having a good day or a bad day. Compliments can also be good conversation starters. If you want to talk to someone but aren't sure what to say, start by telling them something you like about them.
Colossians 3:12 ''Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.''
Compliments are an act of random kindness, so go on out there and act on it.

ReplyDeleteA wonderful post, my precious Angie. What better way to start a day than to give--or receive--a kind word. My kind word to you today? Keep up the blooging. It ministers to others! Love you. G
Ditto, Gloria! This was so good, and so true. I love it. I love receiving compliments and I love giving them. Many times when Diane Lenon and I are greeting at church, we realize what we say to someone may be the nicest thing they hear all day. We try to find something kind and uplifting (and truthful!) to everyone....and it almost always brings a smile to their face....and many times we receive compliments back. So much more fun (not to mention kindhearted) being positive rather than negative. Your blogs are definitely a blessing to me....love you, T.
