Very Good!

I was reading a story in Guideposts this morning and something jumped out at me.  The person was talking about the creation story as recorded in the first chapter of Genesis and pointed out that as He created, God repeatedly looked at His creation and "saw that it was good".

Do I do this? As I move through my day, completing my tasks, do I stop to look at the completed task and see that it is good? Or do I just keep focused on what is yet to be done, not even stopping to acknowledge what has been accomplished? This is so easy for me to do!  And I wonder why sometimes I can work hard all day and feel like I haven't accomplished anything!

Another possibility - do I find fault with everything I do because there are yet things that will make it better? If God had done that, you would have seen him saying something like this after he created light - "That's not worth much until there are plants and animals to support." Can I follow God's example and appreciate the completion of each step in a complex task?

Bottom line, am I willing to appreciate a job well done?  For some reason, it seems so much easier to appreciate the efforts of others than my own!  It seems to me that following God's example here could be good for me in a lot of ways!
