One definition of the word appreciate is to “increase in value.” When we show appreciation for a specific event in a day, its value grows. Make a practice of appreciating all the blessings in life, creating a bank in which to deposit good thoughts and blessings. When we come upon difficult times, we can reflect on the reserve of blessings in our bank. In this way, appreciation continually blesses. ~ DailyWord (paraphrased)
