What is the greatest compliment you could/have ever gotten?

Random thread but an incident I had a few days ago made me wonder this and it seems like an interesting topic if people actually discuss it.

What is the greatest compliment you could or have gotten? Why was or would it be of value to you? Would you even notice or care about it?

Many years ago, my son who was married at the time wrote a letter that resulted in me being named "Mother of the Year" in our local church on Mother's Day.

He did not say I used to spend many hours reading him stories, or playing with him, or making him his favorite cookies, etc.

All he said was "She taught me to trust in Jesus".

I think, to me, the greatest compliment I could ever receive would be, "you remind me of Jesus"

Best compliment I could receive: "Maybe you're not such a screw-up after all."

I agree, even it's only 14 years ago we married.

A girl once said "you just make me smile". She said in a friendly way. nothing intimate but still warming

The best compliment I could ever get here is "You have such a nice smile!"

Because I have never shown my face on this site before...if you get what I mean...

I think when a person says he/she sees Christ in me. That is the ultimate compliment.

i'm not used to getting compliments. but have had a few that were very meaningful to me. my wifes unending love and patients after 45 years of marriage of course is a big one. my grand childrens joy at seeing me when i visit them, and their hugs. and one i never expected. when i retired. i was low man on the totem pole at work. working for the state of michigan in childrens protection, i was the store keeper. responcible for ordering supplies, maintaining the fleet of 60 cars, setting up meeting rooms, making sure the building and machines were running properly. nearly everyone in the building had advanced educations,, mine was limited to an associate degree , which no one even knew i had. so i always felt looked down on by my coworkers. generaly they gave me little respect in day to day things. so after decades of work i finaly retired. aover a year passed, and i stopped by the office for some need or another,,, and people stopped working when they heard i was there. they sought me out, and told me how they missed me. how things just weren't the same since i left. i never got so many hugs . it truely meant lot to know, i had made a positive impact in their lives. the biggest compliment was, "we miss your smile and chearfulness, you were always so happy , and willing to do what every you could to make our day a little bit better."

that up there, was a 'tear-jerker' for me...you sound like a very fine man, Mr. John...

My mother gave it to me a few weeks ago . When I was helping out in her room.( She lives with my sister's family)
She told me "son you remind me so much of your dad " . I had to walk out of the room for a moment. So I could regain my composure. I did not want her to see me tear up. That about it . Nothing yet musters up to that so far.
