BE.

A couple weeks ago, there was this boy, Sam, who stood up in front of 100 people and began to speak simple truths. These truths stemmed from his heart and soul, meant to inspire as well as comfort those who felt as though they were not worthy of being.

He stated beliefs, ideas, facts, and opinions. He bore witness to God's love and His ever present placement in our lives. He thanked God and others for their supportive words.

And then he said this:

"Thank you for being."




...That's it. 

Being what? Being cool, friendly, happy, nice......?

None of the above.
Just BEING.


Has anyone ever said that you before?
Thank you for being.....

That just your presence is something to be grateful for. That YOU.... yes.... YOU, are worth while and are worthy enough to be acknowledged by anyone and everyone.

To just be...
let go of the things that make you worry or fret
To just be...
give time and place for yourself and your soul


I'm amazed by the words that this young man spoke. I will never forget how he made me feel as he said, "Thank you for being."
