1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 2: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 2: blessing and share it with a friend. 5 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in 6 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: your life. 7 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 2: I just want to talk to us today about appreciating 8 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 2: every area of our life. You know, when we appreciate something, 9 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 2: we bring awareness to it, we bring value to it, 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 2: and we are less likely to take it for granted. 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: In Deuteronomy ten through twelve, God was taking the children 12 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,480 Speaker 2: of Israel to city they had not built. He said, 13 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 2: I'm giving you homes filled with great treasure. He said, 14 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 2: I'm giving you vineyards you didn't plow, but I'm giving 15 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 2: them to you so that you can work them. I'm 16 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: giving you homes with great treasure in them so that 17 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 2: you can live in them. And he went on and 18 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: on to tell all the wonderful gifts that he was 19 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 2: giving them. But then he warned them. He said, I 20 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: have to warn you. I'm giving you all of these things, 21 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: but don't take them for granted. He said, don't take 22 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: them for granted, and don't forget who gave them. To you, 23 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: don't take them for granted and not honor me. 24 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 3: See the same thing is happening today. 25 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: God has given us things, a great country to live in, 26 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 2: he's given us homes, He's given us family, friends, jobs, 27 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 2: and he is saying, don't forget who gave it to you, 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: and honor me in it. 29 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 3: You see. 30 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: I believe when we appreciate God, when we appreciate the 31 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: things that God has given us, we're honoring him. 32 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 3: You see. 33 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: Appreciation is a language, and it honors God. How many 34 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: of us have seen videos, are visited impoverished countries and realize. 35 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 3: How blessed we really are. 36 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: We have running waters, we have great grocery stores, restaurants, 37 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: whatever we need. 38 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 3: It's basically at our fingertips. 39 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: And we see these impoverished countries and people and our 40 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: heart goes out to them and we feel so compassionate and. 41 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: We feel so blessed. 42 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: Right then we get to our jobs, we get to 43 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 2: our homes. We face life challenges, decisions, things go wrong, and. 44 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 3: We forget about those things. 45 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: We forget how grateful we should be. We get comfortable, uninterested, 46 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: We take things for granted. It's easy to do and 47 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: we all do it. But can I tell you that 48 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: we've got to learn the language of appreciation. Have you 49 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: ever heard yourself say, I have to go to work. Oh, 50 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 2: I have to go pick up my kids, I have 51 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: to make dinner, Oh to clean up after my husband. 52 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 2: See the language of appreciation says this. It says, I 53 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 2: have I get to go to work because I have 54 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 2: a job. I'm so blessed to have my children. I'm 55 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: gonna go pick them up. Now I have a house, 56 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 2: I get to clean it. See that's the language of appreciation. 57 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: I was talking to a man the other day and 58 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: he was telling me. He actually showed me a list 59 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: of jobs that he had had ever since he was 60 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: a teenager. And he began at thirteen years old. He 61 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: was a paper boy. He went on to fifteen and 62 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: he started mowing lawns. Seventeen he was shoveling snow. Then 63 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: he went on to be a plumber. Then he went 64 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: on to be a pipe fitter. Then he went on 65 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: to be a contractor, then he went on to and 66 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: he was going on and on. 67 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: I thought, dear Lord, jobs as this man had. 68 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: But the purpose of showing me this list was this, 69 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: he said, I went back through my life and I 70 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: looked at every job that I've ever had, and he said, 71 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 2: I thought about it, and he said, what did that 72 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: job show me? 73 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 3: What did that job give me? 74 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 2: And he assigned a word to each one of those jobs, 75 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: words like commitment, perseverance, integrity, responsibility. He said, Victoria, you 76 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: know some of those jobs at the time, I couldn't 77 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: see how they even made sense. 78 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 3: He said. They were difficult. 79 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: They were hard, he says, But when I made this list, 80 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: he said, what it did is it showed me how 81 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 2: grateful I could be for each and every one of 82 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: these jobs, and how it developed my character and my 83 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: resolve for the next job. You know what he was doing, 84 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: he was adding value to his life. He was mining 85 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: the gold. See, sometimes we get stuck in those places 86 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 2: and we make excuses why we didn't get to the 87 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 2: next place, said, we had to do this, our parents 88 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 2: didn't bring us up right. Well, if I'd have had 89 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: an opportunity to go to college, well if I didn't 90 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 2: have to work this job. 91 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 3: You See, this man told me. 92 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 2: I read this list often, he said, because it helps 93 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 2: me be very aware and conscious of where I am 94 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: right now and the blessings in my life. 95 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 3: See, this man is a top. 96 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: Executive now at a million dollar company. He said, I 97 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: read it often. I never want to take this for granted. 98 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 2: You see, we should all dig the gold out of 99 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: our life. Yeah, we're going to face challenges. We're going 100 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: to face challenges. Things aren't always going to be easy. 101 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 2: But when we begin to look for the lessons, when 102 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 2: we begin to look for what can build it in us, 103 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: you know, that's when we're gonna find the value. That's 104 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: when we're gonna find the purpose. You see, when you're 105 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: appreciative and you look for the value in something, what 106 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: you're doing is you're adding to your life. Sometimes we 107 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 2: run around thinking there's a missing link if I can 108 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 2: only find that thing, And when you have an attitude 109 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: like that, you are lacking. And when you're lacking, it's 110 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 2: hard to find purpose. That's why, wherever you are today, 111 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 2: no matter how difficult it is, ask God to show 112 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 2: you where's the value in this? 113 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 3: God? 114 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 2: How can I appreciate this because it's something you've given me. 115 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 3: You see. 116 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 2: The happy people are the people that can be appreciative 117 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 2: of what they have right now on the way to 118 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,239 Speaker 2: where they're going. 119 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 3: Have you ever heard that song you don't know what 120 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 3: you got till It's Gone. I think it's a country 121 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 3: Western song. 122 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: It sounds like it unfortunate that some people have to 123 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 2: lose something before they recognize the value in it. You see, 124 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 2: we shouldn't have to lose something to begin to appreciate it. 125 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: I was talking to a man the other day, and 126 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: he was telling me how he had struggled with this 127 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: long battle of cancer, and his recovery had been very difficult. 128 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 2: He said, but let me tell you, Victoria, I see 129 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: the world in a completely different way. How I viewed 130 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: my life before cancer is totally different than how I 131 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 2: view my life now. 132 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: He said. The important things to me are my friends 133 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 3: and my family. He said this, and I thought it 134 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 3: was so good. He said. 135 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: You know, when you've had cancer, he said, you realize 136 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: that a bucket list is overrated. 137 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 3: He said. 138 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 2: Experiencing and appreciating what you have every day is what's important. 139 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 3: You see. 140 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: We don't want to have to almost lose something to 141 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: appreciate what we have. We cannot get so comfortable and 142 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,119 Speaker 2: so accustomed them to the blessings in our life. Someone 143 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: gave me a sculpture and I liked it. It was 144 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 2: really pretty. I put it up in my home, and 145 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 2: that sculpture was right where I went to put my 146 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: Christmas tree. So I took the sculpture down and I 147 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: short it in a back closet in my home. I 148 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 2: put all my Christmas decorations up. Okay, don't judge me, 149 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: but I put my Christmas decorations up a week before Thanksgiving. 150 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: But I take them down right after Christmas. I was 151 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: digging in a closet just not long ago, and I 152 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: noticed a sheet in the back of that closet, and 153 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: I thought, what is that? 154 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 3: And I pulled off the sheet and it was that statue. 155 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: Now, that statue had been in there about two years, 156 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: and I thought, oh my gosh, I forgot all about 157 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 2: the statue. You know, sometimes you get so much stuff 158 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: it's maybe some pretty things, you forget about what you have. 159 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 2: So I kind of just forgot all about the statue. 160 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 2: So I tossed the sheet back over it because I 161 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 2: was in a hurry, and I left. Well, a few 162 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 2: days later, I was with some friends of mine and 163 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 2: we were on a project and we were staging a table, 164 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 2: and so we had the table looking really good and 165 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: somebody said, you know, we need something special on this table. 166 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: We need something to set this table off, and so 167 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 2: we were looking for all these things. 168 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 3: What can we just top this table off with? 169 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: And in my mind I thought about that statue in 170 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 2: my closet with. 171 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 3: A sheet on it. I was like, Oh, that might 172 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 3: just look good. 173 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 2: So I had someone bring it where I was, and 174 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: so we put the statue on it, and all the 175 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 2: girls were like, whoa, that is beautiful. 176 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 3: That is the most perfect thing ever. That is so gorgeous. 177 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 2: And I stood back and I thought, that is pretty, 178 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: isn't it. It's amazing how I valued the beauty in 179 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 2: that statue because everyone else did so. On my way home, 180 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 2: I was thinking to myself, I got to find something 181 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: like that because I want my statue back. So I 182 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: got home and I got on the internet and I 183 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: started looking looking. 184 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 3: What can I get that's like that? What can I 185 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 3: get that's like that? 186 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: And to my surprise, I realized that that statue was 187 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 2: a limited edition. The artist only made a few and 188 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 2: you couldn't get it anymore. And then I found a 189 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 2: gallery that was looking for that specific statue. They wanted 190 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 2: to buy it. I was like, oh my gosh, this 191 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: is something so valuable. 192 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 3: I want my statue back. I want my statue back. 193 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: That's all I could think about, was getting my statue back. 194 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 3: You see, sometimes we don't appreciate. 195 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 2: Things until someone else sees the value in them. You 196 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: see what you're taking for granted today, someone else may 197 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 2: be praying for. 198 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 3: Some things can't be placed.
