I Appreciate You
=================

I recently received an email from a friend. The email only
contained three commonly used and familiar words, yet these
three words from my friend had a different feel. This simple
powerful phrase shook me. It was a MountainWings Moment.

"I appreciate you" is what the email read.

I gazed at this short sentence and read it over and over again.
I could feel the transforming, uplifting power of these three
words.

I have been thanked countless times, which is always proper and
in order when someone does something for you. It is simply
showing gratitude or giving credit for something that you are
responsible for.

To appreciate means to recognize the significance, quality, or
magnitude of.
(Appreciate freedom)

To be fully aware of or sensitive to; realize:
(I appreciate your problems)

To be thankful or show gratitude for:
(I appreciate your help)

To admire greatly; value
To raise in value or price.

My friend was not appreciating me for something I did or said to
or for him personally or professionally. He was not appreciating
a particular problem that I had or appreciating my help on a
matter.

I appreciate YOU is what the email read.

That means I am appreciated, I am admired greatly, I am valued,
and I am raised in value. He recognizes the significance,
quality and magnitude of me, and who I am. He is thankful and
shows gratitude for me.

As I absorbed the power of these three words and allowed them to
penetrate and saturate my inner being, I considered whom the
email was from. One of the many life lessons is to always
consider the message and the source of messages that enter into
your life constantly. Did they have any idea how powerfully
profound and life-changing this one short statement would be?

Yet, they said to me, "I appreciate you."

That also means YOU (The one reading this issue).

Remember the definition of appreciate. You tend to invest in
the things that you find value in. Our Heavenly Father also
invests heavily in us.

Feel the power of "I APPRECIATE YOU.”
Tell someone or many, and mean it.

Dip into your rich resources and invest in them; whatever those
resources may be.

I APPRECIATE YOU.
