WHAT MAKES MY HEART SING || Week 2 of Dreemer of the Year challenge

avatar

We are all unique beings who have an interest in different unique activities. Our different love for things makes us unique. Many things make my heart sings, those things that get my pulse racing in excitement but I feel like discussing just one aspect. A part I love so much whenever it happens, I choose this particular one because I had another exciting encounter with it just yesterday and my heart kept singing...I can still hear the music 🎶🎵🎶, can you?😉😍

I know that by now, your ears might be itching to hear this one thing 👌, but worry not...it's here! One of the things that make my heart sing is an act of gratitude. Surprised? Relax and journey with me for more clarification 🤗.

I love it when someone shows me gratitude for anything I did. It might be a task assigned to me or just my free will services. Of course, I know that God is the rewarder but as humans, when you are being appreciated for a job well done, it motivates you to do more. It's also a sign that I did something nice, something commendable, and receiving gratitude will lift my spirit and the eagerness to keep doing more.

Take for instance my home, my husband is the head of the family and I am his helpmate, his support engine and I try as much as possible to give him the support he needed to keep running our home. Whenever he recognizes this support and appreciates me, my heart sings 😇. My pulse races in excitement each time I get positive feedback on different tasks assigned to me in different organizations. The truth is that I love being appreciated, I don't know about you but this is just me sincerely speaking. It's been something that gives me high motivation over whatever good I am doing and I love it.

Get to know my favorite memory on this...

A few years ago, one of my friends and her husband pleaded with me to help them buy their Son's shoes in the market since I was going to buy one for my son that same day. I did but unfortunately, it wasn't the size of the boy. I felt bad and told them that I am going to return the shoes to the seller and choose another one that should size the boy. This market is located in a very far place from where we reside. The transportation fare is always on the high side. I took the stress of going back to return the shoes and also paid the transportation fare myself. Honestly, I didn't see this little sacrifice as anything but then, the couple I did this to, took it as a very large sacrifice. They told me the size of shoes they wanted and I bought exactly that size but it didn't work out, so to them... undergoing such stress again with my own money and time worth appreciating. They appreciated me handsomely that day, like 10 times the transport fare I spent with other sweet words so soothing in my heart. It didn't end there, since that day, the man liked everything about me and on different occasions, he has put smiles on my face and my heart kept singing 😍

So yesterday, I received a call from the wife to visit their house if I can. Surprisingly, the man still remembers that little sacrifice I did for his son years back. He has shopped for my 3 boys .. beautiful wears with cash gifts 🎁...I was wowed 🤭🤭🤭🤭,..my heart kept singing uncontrollably over an act of gratitude. I love this and it's a great motivation for me to keep doing good wherever I found myself and I will try my best to inculcate this habit in my kids as well.

What think that I like is when people appreciate my efforts. It encourages me to do more. I love the fact that that the couples appreciated the effort you places toward getting the shoe size of their boy. If not, you would have felt the stress you passed through.

Good morning Star ✨
Yes, I would have felt the stress I passed through if they didn't appreciate me not necessarily by giving me anything but just saying "thank you" is enough for me and I will be motivated to do more next.

Awwn, that's a really beautiful experience I must say. It's always a thing of joy when I also get compliments from people for the things I do for them and it's only normal for that to make your heart sing because even God loves it when people appreciate him for his works in their lives.

The man and his wife are just people that knows how to be grateful and I'm really happy you made that sacrifice for them back then. Just that act of yours has sold the fact that you are a nice person to them and you have made a good name for Your family as well.

That's why in life, anything we do we have to be careful about it because it might just be our only opportunity to sell the good part of us to the world or the person next to us.

This is a really beautiful memory of what makes your heart sings 🥰, I dropped by from dreemport 🥰.

Anyone would be moved by such gesture and you did deserve everything because you sacrificed for them first. You see? You have the qualities of a Queen 🥺❤️😏

This is awesome. I came from @dreemport

First of all I appreciate you writing this interesting article 😆..

And the fact is that there is no one who don’t love to be appreciated. Even God himself cherish it. So how to talk of humans…

A grateful souls receives more…

Especially in Yoruba land they cherish it like😉😉. They might not talk it to your face. But you should know that you should appreciate…

I came, I read, and understood…

I also feel happy when am appreciated, I don't think there is anyone that doesn't like being appreciated. Your post tells me how far a single act of kindness can go. Also, the couples are good people, others might not even care about the effort you made but am glad they are the appreciatedtive type.

Keep on being nice, we appreciate you

This is an act of genuine selflessness!
You did go out of your way to impress that couple but most of all you did it out of motherly love for her child and that's beautiful🌺🌺.
This act cannot be forgotten so easily because everytime they see that shoe they remember your selfless act! This is what mom does for their kids and now payback is even sweeter!♥️

That motherly care was my driving force...the young boy is my son's friend and I just wanted him to be happy no matter the stress I will face , not knowing that the single act of kindness will yield so many kinds of appreciation. It's been years ago now.. like 4 years if not 3 and yet .the couple hasn't forgotten about that
