Gratitude Definition

Gratitude - a working definition


being glad for ...

the good received
    and
the good will of the giver


It's all about joy, and happiness, and peace in your heart,
BECAUSE you received a good, and someone cared to give it.

Love Definition


Agape Love (my definition)

Longing and working for the highest good of another,
doing more than what is expected,
and being delighted in their joy.



A different twist ...

from "Love is the Killer App" by author Tim Sanders

p.12 "Love is the selfless promotion of the growth of the other."

p.13 "Definition of business love :
the act of intelligently and sensibly sharing
your intangibles
with your bizpartners.


Honor Definition

Valuing others as special, treasurable, with unique contributions made and to make.

Discussing a working definition of honor using the acronym RAVE

R is for Respect
Recognizing the significance of the individual.
What they have achieved and what they can, could or will achieve

A is for Appreciate
Marveling that they are created in the image of God.
Marveling at the uniqueness of the individual.
You will never meet anyone who is like that person.

V is for Value
Remembering the value they can and will bring to a situation.
Remembering that they are important to God Himself.

This needs work but it is a beginning.
