Praising something publicly will never be the same as praising that something directly.

How will that something ever know unless you let it be known?!
 
You could write a tell-all book about how great your mother is, but it will never be as great as telling your mother what she is to you.

You could love a piece of fruit, say a pear, more than any other fruit, but it'll never know unless you let it be known directly. Is it crazy to tell a pear you love it? Perhaps, but who cares? What is it gonna do? Judge you?

You could love an old picture of your grandparents so much, but how will it ever know unless you let it be known? I'm not saying to talk to the picture... That would be a little crazy... But perhaps, put it in the prettiest frame you own & place it in front of your bed, so every morning, you wake up & see it hanging there.

You treat the things you love with care. You let the things you love know how much you care.

A homeless person on the street gives you a smile for no reason at all. He doesn't have a sign or a cup for change. Do you stop & let him know that you appreciate his kind gesture, or do you nod & keep walking, hoping that would suffice?!

You & your fiancé call off a wedding & completely break up. Do you cry & tell your best friend all the wonderful things you're going to miss about him? Or do you thank him for all the happiness he brought into your life & the many things he taught you, with a smile?

You could praise God to every soul on this earth, but it would never mean as much unless you directly praised Him. -Actions speak louder than words but that isn't to say that words are less valuable in comparison.- 

We MUST let the things & people we love be known. It means so much more!
