Recognitions

My kids have been honored this week with end-of-the-year school awards. They've worked hard and it's nice that their dedication to their studies have led to some well-deserved recognitions.

Sometimes, though, we don't get recognized for the other things we do, like respecting those around us or being helpful when we see someone in need. But God sees them, and that's what counts. One day we will stand before Him and He will reward us for our outpouring of Christian love to others.

Being recognized for our earthly accomplishments is nice, but I'm looking forward to the heavenly rewards that Jesus Himself will present to His faithful believers.
