Give It A Try

It's been said that nothing in life comes without a sacrifice, and if this is true then it means if we have anything that we haven't personally sacrificed for, then someone else has paid that price for us.

And that's the topic of Today's Magic Word: Honor

HOW?

The question become, how do we adequately honor those who have sacrificed so much for us?

I've discovered that there are three ways to do this:

1. By our gratitude: Don't take things for granted; choose gratitude—an internal appreciation that can be expressed in words or by actions.
2. By our words. Say "Thank You"—simple words with a major impact.
3. By our patience. Patience is an outward expression of our inner sense of gratitude—gratitude toward the intentions of others, for our environment, and truly for everyone and everything around us. Ungratefulness simply implies a gross lack of awareness.

​We can use these three strategies to honor anyone in our lives, but it seems most appropriate today to use them to honor our veterans—individuals responsible for providing us with peace by volunteering for chaos.
