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!"
I bet you're a wonderful cook! Cute eight this week.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on it, Millie. Thanks! :O)
DeleteA different sort of excerpt but I enjoyed taking a moment to think about dedication from the viewpoint you present. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI expect most people do fiction excerpts, but I'm really wanting to re-work my non-fiction piece on Proverbs 31 to turn it into an e-book. Thanks for visiting, Veronica! :O)
DeleteYes, dedication is definitely something that never comes easy! And sometimes I think people think too lightly of the dedication people put into blogging!
