Giving Value to Others
I hope it's not too self-serving to write about this, but I kinda think giving value to others may be my talent. I would still love to be an awesome musician or a famous writer or even a leader of sorts, but those talents may not ever materialize for me. My talent or gift of giving value to others is something I feel deep down inside, and I love this. Jay always says I would invite Attila the Hun for dinner, and he might be right. Giving value to others and making them feel important and accepted is not such high-profile talent, but I like that I see the good and the value in almost everyone. I see their hearts and their intentions and their vulnerabilities. I really like to make sure others feel that sense of value -- it makes them happier and makes the world a better place.

Do I have a memory?? Oh yes, Sister! I do!
ReplyDeleteYou were driving your new yellow w/ tan top car (what was it?) I was in the front and Shannon was in the back seat. You wouldn't let us sing to the tunes - made me crazy. The windows were down. I was chewing gum and decided to throw it out. You came UNGLUED when I did this. You backed the car up, made me get out and get that gum. 'whatever' .... You told me that if a bird got ahold of that it would blow up and die.
Honestly, I have NEVER thrown gum out of the car window again! And, my 2 sweet girls LOVE this story but not as much as I LOVE you!
I have never commented on a blog before so NOW I am on a roll! HA! ---- /What you do that makes me crazy??? When driving, you use that accelerator a bit much.... push down, let up, push down, let up, push down, let up! Have mercy---- stay steady, sister!
