on receiving praise and applause

[myrrha]

Ha!

Plastic/phoney flowers... yes...

I shall endeavor to hand those over to the Lord as well.



When I've been on the giving side of this desire to express my gratitude for someone's ministry gifting, I want to be so careful that they know it is genuine.



The most gracious responses have been my 'teachers'.

A heartfelt "thank-you" graced with humility,

leaves the giver and the receiver satisfied.

And ultimately the Lord is showered with the loveliest Bouquets!
