“You are full of gratitude for me, however, you have not acknowledged me!”

Do you find the above sentence ambiguous? Being a young man, I have always failed at showing acknowledgement to people who cared for me. At most a – thank you. A thank you, is, only a statement of gratitude, and it’s at its simplest form. A more complex way to show gratitude is to say: ” I thank you for helping me with my school assignment,” or “I thank you for spending time with me.”

A statement of gratitude becomes a statement of acknowledgement when we laud the person of a beautiful, intrinsic value the person possesses derived from our keen observation of him/her performing that act for us.

For example, we may now say: ” You are a selfless friend to give up your own free time to help me with your assignment,” and “I could tell you really treasured our friendship to take time off your busy schedules to spend time with me.”

I thank you, whoever you may be, to drop by and read my blog. It means you care for me and is interested to know what’s going on in my life.

God bless you. :)
