Talk Overview

---

Have you ever had someone unexpectedly point out something in particular they appreciate about you? All of a sudden, your day is lifted and you feel encouraged to know that you are valued. We can all benefit from giving and receiving affirmation. The gratitude we impart on others helps us to keep other-centered, and the praise we receive allows us to know that we are valued and loved. To keep ourselves open to this giving and receiving of praise is to be open to God's grace poured into each of us as we participate in spreading his love.
