...they are super special and heart-softening, and unfortunately rare for me. it is not fair to read into another person's statement and determine its validity...but i do it. its not fair to myself either. by writing everything off as "they are saying that to be nice", i'm probably diverting other peoples' chances to bless me.
Don't miss opportunities to bless others. Don't get in the way of letting others bless you. Mean what you say. Don't expect repute in return.
this goes further than just compliments, and it applies to all things you say...
"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful...Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." Colossians 4:2,5-6

I am SUCH a words of affirmation person, it's totally my love language. So know that if I compliment you, I not only mean it, but I think about it all the time and will probably tell you again in a week. :) You're awesome, I love you!
