Sometimes I am feeling so blessed that I just have to stop what I am doing and thank people for all they do. People who make my life better, easier, happier just by being in it.
I am thankful to those special people in my life who support me, uplift me, comfort me and bring joy to my soul.
These people make the sun shine a little brighter. They make you laugh a little harder. They bring the good “vibes” with them when they come around and they make life a little happier. Aren’t they wonderful? I thank God every day for these people in my life.
You’re not reading this by accident. You didn’t come here by accident. You’re here for a reason. And I know that our paths were meant to cross-we were meant to have an impact on each others’ lives. You are here because this is a stop along your journey. I was supposed to meet you, to hear from you, to have my life impacted by you. And you met me because I am to do the same for you. And I am thankful you are here. I am thankful you keep coming back. And I am thankful that we’ll see each other again really, really soon.
Never, ever let a bad encounter with a person make you forget about all these special people in your life. Even the bad encounter is a blessing. You are blessed because you see more clearly those around you who are the “special ones”. Our special friends shine so brightly that the mean ones are very dim in the grand scheme of life. As you get older, you find that your circle of “special friends” is a small one. And that’s okay. That’s even perfect. A small circle means you have more time for each individual special friend.
God has blessed me with some special people in my life and I am so grateful!
Sending you blessings of love and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!
