One Minus One

By Curtis Johnson You may never become a hero or a person of great renown; Or throw a ‘no hitter’ from a Major League pitcher’s mound. Your name may never grace the pages of anybody’s magazine. You may never enter a scrip of a TV show or movie scene. You must understand that your arrival to earth was no accident. That your life until now has meant the world to some, is evident. You indeed make a difference, just as one minus one equals zero. When you arrived, there had not been another just like you before. The sun arose this morning in the Eastern sky 'with you in mind'. Tonight, the moon and stars will 'think of you' when you recline. We were made by God for purpose, to create, produce, and develop. So let’s get up and stand up; let’s look up, cheer up, and pray up. 03012016cj Psalm 139:13-18 PS
