The task today - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness.
--Leo Buscaglia

We are each special, which means there is not another person just like ourselves. Nobody looks just like us. Nobody's voice sounds quite like our own. And nobody thinks through a story just like we do.

Each of us has been created for a special purpose. Maybe it's for what we'll teach a friend, or the way we'll help a sister or a brother. Every day will give us chances to offer our special talents to others. Our being alive is God's way of proving that we're important to the family, the neighborhood, and the world.

What important task lies before me today?

From: Today's Gift. Its just a book. This is just one page from that book. I did not write the book, or this page. I didn't even select this one for today, it was choosen for me. All I did here was copy & paste. Thank you.

I have no issues with this particular thought, Doug.

I enjoyed that post, Doug. Actually, it made me consider an issue with a stubborn student at school, and how I might best handle it.

That, I think, is my special task for today.

And I think that this part is quite insightful:

So, thanks for sharing!
Shalom!

Great disclaimer.
I could have used this one a time or two.

I like this post, Doug, and disclaim as much as you want, I know you wouldn't post it if you didn't THINK it.

I think we each do have unique gifts, and that each one is a special blessing and meant to be used to make our lives and the world a more beautiful place.

And those ARE my thoughts.

Hugs
Ann
