How long has it been since someone told you, “You’re doing a good job?”

I was thinking about that last night.  I was doing some announcements for an awards banquet.  It was a managers conference for a company of over 30,000 employees.  This particular conference was for around 800 of their managers.

They received awards for safety, production, performance and other categories.  Very few of the recipients spoke, but those who did were very gracious.  As I watched many of them walk by our sound booth, carrying their trophy, it was obvious how good they felt to be recognized in such a way.

It made me think about the different places where I have worked over the years when someone told me that I was doing a good job.  I know, we should do a good job whether anyone notices or not, right?  But you and I both know that it feels good when someone compliments you for your work, shakes your hand or pats you on the back.

However, on other hand, I remember someone saying that if you wait for people to compliment you or show appreciation, you’re going to be waiting a long time.  Just always work heartily and do your best.  God remembers all the good that you do and He will bless your life.  That’s a lot better than a pat on the back, isn’t it?
