Sometimes we can feel alone or forgotten by the whole world. Birthdays, anniversaries, or other special occasions pass and we don't get a card or call from people we love. We make excuses for them, "They are so busy with their family...job...new house...etc."
How often do we think of someone and do nothing about it? How many times do we wonder what ever happened to ... and never give them a call? How many holidays or special days pass when we don't reach out to our friends and family? How often do we look at someone and wonder, "Where do I know them from?" or "What is their name?" just to shrug it off and go on our way.
What an encouragement it is when someone remembers you. Just a simple, "How are you doing?" can mean so much when you are feeling a bit low. A quick, "I was thinking about you today," can feel so uplifting. And remembering details about someone's family can be just about miraculous to that person!
I hope I can be better at showing people around me I care enough to remember them; in whatever way that may be. How wonderful to be able to leave a legacy of caring wherever you go.
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:3-4
