I've often wondered if I were to move away or die if anyone would miss me. I've wondered if I make any impact anywhere I go at all. I think about the work place, if I would be missed there. I think about my church and if the body of Christ there would miss me at all. How long would it take people to realize I was gone?
I've been blessed these last few days to get some answers to these often pondered questions. At work my boss welcomed me back and said he missed me. I thought he was fooling around with me. Later he came and said "No really, I missed you last week." He told me that I'm needed there and nobody can do my job as well as me. That was cool to hear.
Then Wednesday I got a letter in the mail from an older lady from church. She was missing me in church the last two Sundays. She let me know she was thankful for what I do there and in the ministries there of. She was hoping everything was well with me. That blesses me so much to know that people are thinking of me and missing me. This is such an encouragement in my life right now.
Now I'm thinking of another question or two. Have I encouraged anyone lately? Have I told anyone how I appreciate them recently?

You were miss while you were gone. I am glad that you had a good time though.

Hey Mike...I was busy getting stuff organized for camp the last few times I saw you but I did want you to know that you were missed while you were gone. It wasn't the same not having you around for the church picnic.
Well, I guess you got your answer to the first question. It is great to hear your boss say you do your work like no one else. And, yes, we would miss you. There is no one else like you to do the work God has planned for you.
Remembering to encourage people is such an important part of our lives. Everyone needs to know they are contributing in the big picture.
And I thank you for all you do at your church. You have such a great place to worship.
