Praise You in this Storm

Today is difficult. Still, I am thankful that I have a place to come home to, that I have work for my hands, and that my life is full of family and friends.
What makes a person remarkable? What make a life remarkable? It seems that it is relative. I mean, what is remarkable to one may be mundane and unimportant to another. So I believe that it is our best interest to be remarkable in the eyes of the ones we love, and no one else.
God thinks each of us is remarkable, that is a given. And I know we cannot be eveything to everyone. But maybe I can be amazing for a time in the eyes of one of my children, my husband, or my grandson. Maybe I could even impress myself...but that is a slippery slope.
If you want to live a remarkable life, start with the circle right around you. Maybe it works like this...maybe you drop a pebble of kindness or brilliance or courage or insight and it works its way outward with a rippling effect. So, will find my pebble and drop it gently and see what happens.
