"I'm not an expert or anything. But I think I did a good job," Joey said. Since I was in another room at the time, his proclamation sparked both alarm and curiosity into my head. I quietly went into the kitchen and saw two little boys with their shaggy-haired heads close together.
A butter knife in one hand and a juicy apple in the other, Joey was slicing the apple for Ezra to eat. Not only did he have a cutting board covering the work surface, but he even fished the miniature shape-cutters from the gadget-drawer to use in popping stars, hearts, and ovals from the cream-colored meat of the fruit.
Have you ever counted yourself unqualified or unable to do something? Have you ever felt you were unworthy for a particular hobby, station, or other life experience? Often, I downgrade my own worth because I don't think I'm making a difference in a tangible way - do you ever feel that way, friend?
Perhaps you'll never win a Noble prize or travel halfway around the world; maybe, your life is filled with the routine of caring for children or fulfilling responsibilities at work. But, this doesn't mean that your life has little worth to those around you.
You would be surprised how the choices you make each day can impact others when you least expect it. Smile, savor the view your life holds, and know that you are not alone. We - each of us - can be a benefit and joy to one another.
