You’re very welcome. I’m so pleased to be a reminder. I think that’s exactly what it’s all about.

Thank you. I definitely realized this first by feeling like others were doing it to me. Then of course God shot back, “But what about you, Marshall. How are you hampering their kindness?”

Sometimes to best way to find how to serve others is to examine what we want and turn it around. Who knew “Love you neighbor as yourself” was so brilliant! :>)

Absolutely. I’m with you on receiving gifts. I’ve struggled with it because I always feel like I’m giving off false humility. Learning how to accept gifts is as much a skill as anything else. I’ve heard before that one of the best ways to learn a person’s character is to watch how that person receives gifts.

I think I’ll work on a post about this specifically. Thank you for your insight.

Small significances make big differences.

Thanks for the insight and the reminder.

Squelching others kindness…you hit the nail right on the head. I have been on both ends, but never thought about MYSELF as doing the squelching before. Excellent post.

You truly have a servant’s heart, Marshall. And servants both give kindness and respond thankfully to it. Good post.

I am so guilty of squelching others kindnesses. I’m terrible about accepting gifts, complements, etc. Now I am starting to realize that being thankful is as much of a gift to the giver, as it is to me (the receiver).

Thanks for another great post… and lesson, Marshall!
