Today is one of those great days in the Thirty Days of Gratitude when you get to express thanks to a friend who listens to you and encourages you. Your words of gratitude—whether in a simple e-mail, a handwritten card, or by way of a tangible gift—will likely be pushed to the side as this friend finds it more important to bring you joy than to accept your praise. Do it anyway!
But let me encourage you to go beyond the simple expression of gratitude today. Demonstrate your gratitude by following your friend’s example and being a listener and encourager to someone else today. When gratitude takes its rightful place, it has a transforming power that makes a lasting impact and encourages the same response in others!
