YOU MATTER

 

     Can I remind you today that you matter.  I know there are times when you don’t think that but here are some things to think about.  There is someone who thins about you and smiles because you said a kind word or gave them a kind action.  Someone hears a song and smiles because of something you did together that made that song special.  Whenever I hear a beach boys song I remember the wonderful times my friends and I travelled to the mountains for camping and fun.  It reminds me of a simpler time and era.

     Someone sips coffee or tea from their favorite mug and thinks about you and smiles because you had wonderful conversations and activities around a dinner table or coffee place.  You said the right thing at the right time in the right manner. 

     Someone puts on their favorite T shirt or shirt and thinks of you and smiles because it was an outfit that they wore when you did something crazy together and created memories.  Solomon said a word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pitchers of silver.  You worked on a project together and it was a success or a bonding moment.

     All this happen because you took the time to be with them.  To be their friend, counselor, workmate, the crazy person who made them laugh and smile.  I just want to remind you today that you matter don’t forget that.
