When I read Paul's gushing praise for the Philippians, I think of how I should do a better job praising other peoples good works. "I am glad and rejoice with all of you-- and in the same way you also must be glad and rejoice with me." (v. 17-18).
At work, we are starting the mid-year review process. I give reviews as much attention as any other part of my job. Most people crave feedback (especially the positive kind!), but only if it is accurate and well thought through. Nothing is worse than having you manager give you a review only to realize that they have no idea what you are actually working on! But I digress...
Constant feedback and praise is what really counts! But sometimes we are so caught up in ourselves or the task at hand that we forget to thank those around us. At a recent meeting, we spoke about making a bigger deal of anniversaries of our church staff. Rock, will be celebrating his 15th year with us this fall as our organist extraordinaire. He is such an amazing part of what makes our service "inspirational" that we should thank him appropriately!
I'm going to try and make an intentional effort to thank people more often. Thank you for reading! :)
