Life is a Challenge!

By Honeycombebeach

So much potential!

As well as taking a blip a day, I decided that I would do a good deed every day - have managed to keep up on both counts so far!

Was meeting a friend for coffee today at M & S - good job we weren't gasping because as seems to be the case in most M & S stores the service was worse than slow it was almost at STOP!!

Decided to treat her to some daffodils and whilst waiting for her to purchase the coffee (with skinny milk, I hasten to add and NO biscuits!) put the daffs on the table - and saw a blip opportunity.

It set me thinking about how much potential is locked up in every one of us - just waiting for something or someone to tease it out. In the case of the daffodils it will be a vase of water and some warmth - and the beauty and perfume will, I hope, overwhelm my friend.

Perhaps someone needs a quiet word of encouragement from you - or maybe just a touch on the arm to say "I understand". A telephone call, a card, even an email - although a card , despite the high cost of stamps, is far preferable - but think about how you could bless someone today (or tomorrow) and help unlock their potential. They will feel better and so will you, knowing you have brightened someone's day.

"The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed, those who help others are helped." Proverbs 11:25
