Have you had your Joy Juice today? It’ll remind you how very special YOU are to
the Lord!
When I was
working in the primary and elementary school setting, I would often teach a
lesson about how unique and special each of us is made. I’d have the children look at their
fingerprints and remind them that NO ONE has the same set of fingerprints. Each one is different and unique.
Sometimes
we’d do an art project in which they would put their thumbs in paint or ink and
make a picture using their thumbprints.
I’d summarize the lesson by telling them they were “Thumbbody”
special. (Mamie McCullough)
The children
and I decided that we’d have a “secret” signal to speak to one another in the
hallways or whenever we were supposed to be quiet. We’d give each other a “thumbs up” and that
not only meant “Hello”…it was also a reminder to one another that we are
“thumbbody special”. It blesses my heart
that I often meet some of my former students who are adults now and they lift
that thumb and smile. Some even
verbalize “You are thumbbody specia!!”
Do you know
how special YOU are? Especially to
God! In Matthew 10:30 Jesus tells us the
"even
the very hairs of your head are all numbered." You are so valuable to Him that He cares
enough to know every detail about you. And He demonstrated that love by sending
His ONLY Son to die for you. That should fill each of our hearts with great
joy!
YOU are, indeed,
“thumbbody special”, so drink that JOY JUICE with an heartfelt smile today!
