Under appreciated

THIS blog really hit home to me today. It's all about feeling under appreciated, and how to deal with not getting your "gold stars" from other people. I found it really uplifting.

I see where she's coming from. I think most women need to receive their "gold stars" from other people in one way or another. I want to be appreciated for what I've done. But I think, as a Christian, it's different because I know there's something more. I know that just doing things for me would be misdirected. As is doing your work for other people.

I want to have my focus on God. So that I'm working for Him. Everything I do is for Him. I don't want to need that appreciation from other people. I think I will appreciate it more when I don't NEED it.

I know many Christian's who say this, but it is also true in my life. At the end of my life, the only thing that will matter to me, is to have God say, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
