IF
NOT FOR YOU
To wrap up this month with gratitude, I wanted to
share a poem that recently was read at church.
It really resonated with me and I wanted to tell all the people in my
life this important message.
Some of you are actively in my life, some are friends that I don't keep in contact with any longer, some are from SFPNN only, and others are people I have not conversed with.
To all of you -- thank you for being in my life.
"If
Not for You"
by Rev. Bob Luckin
If not for you, there would be a place of emptiness
in the heart of God.
If not for you, all the good you have done would
still need doing.
If not for you, the spark of your ideas would not
have ignited a fire in others.
If not for you, the key role you have played in
life's drama would remain unfilled.
If not for you, at least one person would not have
awakened to their dreams.
If not for you, your triumphs could not be
examples to inspire others.
If not for you, someone who needed love would not
have received it.
If not for you, a life would have been shortened,
or never have existed.
If not for you, the song of life would have missed
a beat.
If not for you, your gifts would remain un-given.
If not for you, another might have suffered in
your place.
If not for you, someone would have no path to
follow.
If not for you, there would be one less smile, one
less laugh, and one less hug.
If not for you, there would be less mystery.
If not for you, an animal might be homeless, and a
garden left unplanted.
If not for you, something would be missing.
YOU have always made a difference.
Who you are always made a difference.
Who you are is important every day.
You are the face, the heart, and the soul of God.
