Mark recently told me about a writer who decided to thank someone who had impacted his life in some way - that is not unusual, but to do so each day for a year! Sounds like 'Julie and Julia' in the culinary world.
But I love the idea- I started to think about different phases of life and realized that there are so many more people I could and should thank than I ever had thought. It's really quite overwhelming when I start to catalog just the first few years of life.
I remember when I was eight- first trip to an allergy specialist- which was a big deal back then, in downtown Chicago. I had childhood asthma and this doctor was so kind as she discovered one thing after the next that triggered it.
Cannot remember her name now, but she gave me a nickel for each one! I must have made quite a haul that day, but what I remember feeling was that she cared; she gave me hope that something could be done to help.
Kind people that come into our lives- might just be angels! In the sense that God is showing his fallen creation his love, they are.
