Undervalued

I like my pinkie toe. I mean, I really like my pinkie toe; I don't want to have to live without it. Now, a lot of people probably don't think about the little things as much as others. I am grateful to have all my body parts, even the pinkie toe. I don't know if the pinkie toe is significantly important as far as walking and balance, etc., but it is rather important to me because it is there. I was born with it and would like to keep it my entire life.

Hey, and it's not just the pinkie toe. I am grateful for every fingernail. Fingernails come in pretty handy if you are trying to open something or scratch something. I have smashed a few fingers and lost fingernails, and I have always been grateful when they grow back.

So, what am I getting at? I am glad you asked...Today's word is a quote from Malcolm S. Forbes that says, "Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are."

It seems that far too many people get hung up on what they are not and lose sight of what they truly are. I am not a rocket scientist. I am not a doctor. I am not a race car driver. I am not a professional athlete. However, I am grateful to be what I am: a child of GOD, a husband, a father, a son, a brother, etc. I may never be famous or rich but I a forever blessed and eternally wealthy.

Looking at all the things we aren't is a pretty easy thing to do. Remembering what we are, though, is far more important.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
