Take time to appreciate and notice the good things that those around you do. Not all people are raised in a family that takes notice of their special gifts and God given talents. I was one of those kids, trying always to please my mom and dad. Not always receiving praise for a job well done. Therefore I looked outside the family unit for my acceptance.
So I decided, when I became a mom I would make sure my children knew that I loved them and they were blesssed with special gifts. Telling them daily, that they had a purpose, a plan, and a destiny. That God had created them, each with a unique plan in mind. I also told them daily that I loved them. Hearing those three simple words “I Love You” can change the way they see themselves. Hearing “You are special ” can add a jump to their step. Did they always appreciate it. I would like to think so. Sometimes I would hear “Mom you say that all the time.” My response “Someone in the world today, has never heard those words.” Through my teaching career I knew this to be true. So I made the effort to tell my students ” “You have a purpose, a plan, and a destiny.” Getting a smile on their face they would thank me. I think that everyone needs a little love shared.
I would like to think that Jesus shares with our Heavenly Father some of the same “I Love You” and “Look at Our Kid down there!” Smiling and saying “Atta Boy! (or Girl) I knowHe is proud of us when we stand up for our kids, and others who have no one in their corner.
Next time someone you know needs a little extra boost’ share the love of Jesus! Applaud or compliment them. A little love goes along way!!
