My 8 sentences today are from the "Proverbs 31 - D is for Dedication" entry posted during the "2014 Blogging from A to Z Challenge":
Cooking a meal takes effort; cooking 18,615 meals (3 meals a day x 365 days x 17 years) takes dedication. Facing danger requires effort; facing danger every day for 730 days during a two-year deployment takes dedication. Writing one blog post takes effort. Writing a blog post starting with each letter of the alphabet during a single month takes dedication. ...
When we put forth effort, we receive reward. Maybe it is money; maybe it is satisfaction at a job well done or from making a difference. One reward we get from dedication is reputation. When one cooks a tasty meal, one hears, "That was a great meal!" When one cooks 18,615 tasty meals, we hear, "You are a wonderful cook!"

What people or things in life have earned your dedication? Have any suggestions, critiques, compliments? Comment below; I comment back! :O)
Aw, lovely little post! WeWriWa has given me something quite fun to be dedicated to. I love sharing my writing, and getting responses from others, so I can hone my craft. I also like being able to help others with their writing. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks, Millie, and welcome to the porch. You certainly do seem dedicated to WeWriWa. I really appreciated the links to previous posts on your blog to allow me to catch up on the story!
DeleteOh - you did the math. I don't think I want to know how many meals I've cooked (or burnt!)
DeleteFabulous little thought provoking snippet.
Glad you followed. I've found so many helpful folks here, many I now deem my friends, though we're miles apart. It's nice to connect with other writer's.
DeleteThis is a nice post, LuAnn. :-) Are you going to publish this as a little devotional daybook? Or are you making it something much larger? I can see these posts as food for thought--a new writing for each day of the year. :-) Good snippet. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy idea was to turn it (along with the A-C and E-Z entries) into an e-book...probably a giveaway. Thanks for asking, Teresa!
DeleteInteresting thought, excellent examples. Enjoyed your post!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Veronica, that is good to hear! :O)
DeleteNice--don't think I caught that one on A to Z.
ReplyDeleteWith a gazillion participants, Sue Ann, it's nearly impossible to catch everything on the A to Z! :O)
DeleteThanks for visiting, Victoria! Funny you should mention burning meals...but I've done my share for the year in the last week, I think! :O)
