Within your family and groups such efforts strengthen bonds and affirm each person's importance. Think how it warms your heart when such comments come your way! Here are ideas to try out:
- "I really admire how you handled that situation. [Add detail here]."

- "Your [unique/creative/thoughtful] perspective really enhanced my understanding."
- "Thank you for being so reliable. Knowing that I can count on you to follow through makes a big difference."
- "I really appreciate everything you do for our [family/group/congregation]. Your efforts don't go unnoticed, and they make a big difference."
- "Your support and understanding mean a lot to me. I’m grateful to have you in my life."
