What a precious gift we can give to one another. To be remembered is always special at least in my experience.

It does not have to be something big… though it can be of course. How it warms my heart to receive an email from an old friend or colleague who I have not spoken to for a long time as life has taken us in different directions.

It was a few weeks ago I received an email from a dear friend who lives in another province. She had been thinking of me and wanted to know how I was. It warmed my heart deeply. A text or phone call from someone who says “hey, how are you?” Also very special! Then there are the “how can I pray for you or help you text.” All nice to receive.

Such simple acts of kindness can help any of us feel like we matter in this world. Our life makes a difference somewhere.

I was thinking about the old but beautiful movie “ it is a Wonderful Life”. The main character did not realize how precious his life was to so many. He had an encounter with an angel who showed him all they ways his life had impacted people in the past as well as the present. It changed his perspective.

We may not have the privilege of an angel encounter- but we do have the ability to remind someone that their presence in your life is important.

Philippians 1:3 “ I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy.”

Take a moment today and consider someone you can text or call or send a card to? Be the person who warms the heart of another, today.
