Have you ever felt like you were in the midst of a puzzle? You were a piece in the middle of a bigger picture, but you couldn’t figure it out? Well you are part of a bigger picture.
You are important. You were put here to serve and to help others find their roles and identity too. We may feel like a dot when one looks at all the other people in your home, your community, or your state, but you hold a prominent place in life! I am convinced that we a

Are you the prayerful person who helps support others during their trials with medical issues, schooling, or decision making? Are you one of a large family? Or are you alone?
I am obviously a puzzle fan. I find great clarity in assembling something from a bunch of pieces. It is what I do for a living! I listen to stories and help people with their life’s direction. I help them sort out what is a priority at any given time and to put a healthy spin on it for them. I help them to re-frame the picture
In other words, what we have learned along the way, allows us to grow in that realm. I am not a linguist from I know a few people who excel in languages; they help others communicate. I know people who are excellent in math or science and see the world in numbers and disease control. Delight in whatever skills you possess. Use them and share the quality of life you have and seek with other people.
Look for the mini miracles around you, for the people who are nurturing you, and for the opportunities that keep presenting themselves.
