Appreciation

This week's MJR focus is "Appreciation". People who practise this virtue can approach situations and hardship with empathy and are able to see positive solutions instead of just problems. People with an ‘attitude of gratitude’ are also less likely to feel depressed or anxious, regardless of circumstances.

3 Practical Ways To Live Appreciation Out:

• Saying thank you when someone does something kind for us
• Giving a small gift/hug/kind word to someone we care about for no special reason
• Offering to help around the house or classroom to show our parents/carers/teachers/friends we love them

A Prayer for Appreciation

Dear Lord, 

Thank you for the blessings you have bestowed on my life.

You have provided me with more than I could ever have imagined.

 You have surrounded me with people who always look out for me. 

You have given me family and friends who bless me every day with kind words and actions.

Amen
