Hey kiddos! Have you read or heard someone say, “If matter’s all there is, then nothing really matters.” Whether you’ve heard or read it or not, I’m the one who said it. And I said it for a very good reason. Because you’re the only you. But, come to think of it, who cares? Right?
If nothing really matters, then neither do you.
Because you’re nothing more than a bunch of carbon cells clumped together in a weird shape. You’re obviously not as cute a puppy. Because nothing is. You’re not as helpful as a tree. Because trees can provide shade, fuel, and even materials to build shelter. And you’re not as essential as water. Because, “scientists” say water is the source of life.
So, Mister Man, or Missy Miss, you just don’t stack up so much, do you?
Nope. You’re just gonna live out your life and be gone one day. And nobody’s gonna miss you. And it’ll be like you were never here. Born one day. And back into an eternal black, empty hole before you know it.
Wow. That’s sad and hopeless.
So, I hope it’s not how life seems to you. And I hope there’s no one teaching you that foolishness.
You DO matter. And your story matters. Because you, my fine-featherless-friend, were created. Nope, you didn’t just happen. And your story is written inside the cells of your body. It’s like a secret code, only it’s not a secret anymore.
Your code is yours and no one else has the your code. It’s what makes you who you are. And it’s the reasoning behind why you look and sound the way you do And this is true of every person on the earth. Big or little. Fat or skinny. Blue or pink.
It’s kinda like this:
Let’s say we could get a special decoder ring. And we use it to read the code inside of you. Then, we could read the one book in the world written just about you. Sorta like the owner’s manual to your body.
It would tell us why your singing voice is so nice. Or why you can’t carry a tune in a bucket. It would tell us how you grew up to be a 7 foot basketball player in the NBA. Or a 5 foot jockey in the Kentucky Derby. Of course, your code wouldn’t tell us how you won a spot on a team in the NBA. And it wouldn’t show us how you won the Kentucky Derby. But it would show us why you’re tall or short.
And those tiny instructions are in each of the trillions of cells in your body. So, just imagine how many other things we could learn by reading all your information.
Yeah, thank goodness you and I don’t believe that nothing really matters. And that’s how we know that…
Your Story Matters
Inside a trillion tiny cells
Where no one’s eyes can see…
A trillion times your story flies
On sparks of energy.
That energy is life itself
The fire to light your way
To write your story and to live
And love someone today.
Be thankful for your source of life
And bow or smile and nod…
Because your story matters most,
When it reveals our God.
Your email address matters, too. It’s what I need so I can send you my FunderFlash Journal. Get lots of fun stuff delivered right to your inbox. Spend your valuable time reading instead of searching. And, to show my sincere appreciation for your time and attention, I’ll send you download links to 2 of my Christian books for kids and 2 songs, right away. Fun for kids AND not too cutesy. So grownups enjoy it, too.
Stay tuned,
