Saying Thank You

I think the value of saying Thank you is greatly underestimated. I just realized this when someone I knew said Thank you in a blog post for an anonymous thoughtful gift was given to them over a year ago. It made me think about saying thank you and how much simple things people do can mean so much to the receiver yet sometimes the person that did them never realizes what it meant. I know i need to work on saying Thank you more and making sure those who do great things for me know how much i appreciate them. :)

I know I already posted about thanksgiving, but during this time and all year Thank you really means a lot. In primary this month the kids were taught a song that said thank you in MANY different languages. I love the song!



Children All Over the World
All over the world at the end of day,
Heav’nly Father’s children kneel down and pray,
Each saying thank you in his own special way,
Saying thank you, thank you in his own special way.
“Gracias.” “M¯al¯o.” “Wir danken dir.”
All over the world tender voices hear.
Some say “tak,” others “merci,”
“Kansha shimasu,” we thank thee.
Our Heavenly Father hears them;
He understands each tongue.
Our Heav’nly Father knows them;
He loves them, loves them, ev’ry one.

Just thought i'd share :)
