Our lives can get so full, can’t they? I have a tendency to get caught up in my own “stuff” only to realize that I haven’t done much lately to show others much I care. Can you relate?  

We may tell people how much we care, but showing them how much we care has an even more powerful impact. As crazy as our lives get, we can’t lose sight of the importance of taking the time to make someone feel special. The simple act of caring shows people that they matter. It makes others feel loved, accepted, and important. Our caring can inspire others to care, too.  

What can you do today to show someone how much you care about them? If you’re like me, you may try to over complicate it, and then stop yourself in your tracks. It doesn’t have to be something huge or costly. Maybe it’s sending someone a text message or a handwritten note. Maybe it’s taking an extra five minutes to help someone or to ask someone how they are really doing. No act of caring is ever wasted. You and I can make a difference in someone’s life today by simply showing that person in some small way how much they mean to us.
