The late Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip was well known for his faith.  He wrote the following which has a great meaning about true people who have changed our lives.

1-Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2-Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3-Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.
4-Name the last five Super Bowl winners.
5-Name the last five World series winners.
6-Name at least five Nobel prize winners last year.

How did you do?  The point is none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.  The list contains no second rate achievers.  They are the best in their fields yet one day the applause dies.  Awards tarnish.  Achievements are forgotten.  

Here is another quiz.  See how you do on this one:
1.  List two teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. List three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. List three people who help you feel special.
4. List three people with whom you enjoy spending time.

The people who make a difference in your life are not het ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards.  The people who make the difference are the ones who care.  

You are loved.
