I turned off my cell phone and entered church.  Immediately upon entry, I was greeted by friends, who I responded to loudly, but with genuine enthusiasm and pleasure.  Sitting in church, I smiled as I saw that my son had escaped the house in sandals and socks on a 39 degree day.  The music started playing and I happily sang along.  As I missed a word, here or there, I grinned, playfully nudged my son, and shared in the humor of my missteps.

There, in that one hour, I was reminded of so many that I love.  My mother in the joyful greeting, my father in the pleasure of an observed wardrobe blunder, and my grandpa in the joyful and imperfect singing.

I am a unique blend, the perfect version of me.  A blend of all those who love me and I in turn help shape the beauty of those I touch.

We are all part of a fabric.  We are all shaped by each other.  Our beauty is a reflection of those around us and we create a light in them, as well.

Today, help build someone up.  Share the love that has been previously given to you and can help make someone else an even better version of themselves.
