Special Special


Why is it that we wait till something bad happens for us to say "you are special to me." Seems we all are special to a bunch of folk but most of us don't even know it. Even stronger is the thought that folk don't know that they really are special to us. We've just lived our lives out the way we thought was right and something good happened between "us" and "them." Sometimes it might even be intentional on our part to get next to a person. Why? Cause.
I want to encourage you to do something special today. Not one of those "web" things that you just forward on because they are cute or you think it will change the world but something intentional on your part from start to finish. Write a note, make a phone call, send flowers, build a bird house, send a joke, offer a prayer, just say "you da man" or "girl". Let those that are special to you know it some way some how. Start today, don't wait till tomorrow. Tomorrow will never come, it's a day away.
START TODAY.
EXCEPT THE CHALLENGE?
Who will go with me.
Who will go to the place where few go but all return.
A place that changes a person from the inside.
A place where the heart is bare and vulnerable.
A place that is no accident.
A place that makes a difference.
... because of who you are.
"You may be the only Bible someone will ever see, so be sure to be open all the time showing the GOOD NEWS to all you come in contact with..." Rappings 1:1 (Walden's paraphrase)
