Dear Family of Love!
Happy You Matter Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful day. Did you feel that you mattered as the beautiful child of God? Did you make others feel the same way? I hope so. We all must be made to feel as though we do and make and encourage our family members to feel the very same way too.
Today I received word that two of my blood work tests were normal and that my Hemoglobin A1C level is normal and Dr. Krause my primary care doctor told me that I have excellent control of my diabetes! This is what made me feel like I mattered. It's the little things like a good report, a kind word, and a reassuring touch makes all the difference in the world to our family members. What little things did you do today to make the lives of others brighter? This week we are to become lights to all of God's children wherever we may be and show how CALM (Compassionate, Accepting, Loving, and Merciful) we can be.
Tonight let us meditate upon how we must be the light to the fragile and broken world in which we live. To do this we must make our journey down into our heart homes and be in conversation and relationship with God.
