When Someone Is Honored...

When someone is honored old memories (like dead batteries) become recharged and capable of empowering once again.

When someone is honored a fire is stoked. It draws together people who cherish the same values, and it warms them to the core.

When someone is honored people are inspired to persevere, because they can see that the contributions their lives make really do matter to others.

When someone is honored deep sentiments are spoken, like buried treasures being unearthed. Buried gems have no value, but brought to the surface they enrich many.

When someone is honored many people are honored, for family and friends, in ways great and small, have made contributions in the life of the honoree. It is a celebration of the return on their investment.

When someone is rightfully honored Heaven rejoices, for God enjoys adoring His kids through His other kids.

When someone is honored faith begins another growth spurt, for God's wisdom, providence, handiwork, and faithfulness are on brilliant display.

The heroes I'd like to mention today are Lydia and Corban Shaw, who, last night, brought honor to their Uncle Bob and Aunt Leslie in a beautiful surprise celebration of their 20th anniversary. Great job, guys! The meaningful evening brought joy and encouragement to many.
