A friend was shopping at a thrift store recently, and found a coffee mug that reminded her of me. She bought it, and gave it to me at church this morning.
Maybe you're thinking that this is not a remarkable event. But that's because you're not me.
You see, we all want to matter. Everyone wants to make a difference.
And by thinking of me, and buying this little token of my influence on her life, she was saying to me that I made a difference. That blessed my day.
The next time something reminds you of someone you care about, go the extra mile and let them know you thought of them. The importance of validating people's existence by these little gestures cannot be measured.
By the way, Tina, every time I drink from this cup, I will think of you, and will know that you've made a difference, too. Thanks!
