Thank you to this wonderful group!

[Guest guest]

The following is something to make us stop and think. See if you can answer

these:

Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.

Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer prize.

Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no

second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause

dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates

are buried with their owners.

Here easier questions. See how you do on these:

List two teachers who aided your journey through school.

Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.

Easier?

The lesson?

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most

credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones who care.

I want you all to know, that although I don't know all your names, I care

for you, pray for you, and feel the love of this group. May God bless us

all on our journey.
