If You Want to Feel Needed…

Jennifred Jones

Make other people feel needed.

Begin by saying, “Thank you.”

…to the trashman

…to the janitor at the YMCA

…to the bus driver

…to the check out person

…to your family

It will make their day, and their reaction will make your day…a chain reaction has begun!!!

We need what another provides. and they need acknowledgement for what they provided. It’s not about trying to get something from someone, it’s about giving worth and value to another person…that you sincerely need and appreciate what they are offering, whether it’s free or whether they are paid for what they do.

It’s a human to human connection—a bond —in the category that says, “I see you”, “I see what you do”, “You are adding value to my life by what you are doing.”

Today, let’s begin to appreciate another person, add value to them and it in turn will add value to us.

The Value of You

Jennifred Jones

I have no worth, I have no value, there is nothing important or needed about me.

Too many people have said this about themselves, me included!

We have to keep things in perspective.

I didn’t bake you a birthday cake because it had no value, was nothing important or unneeded…It was baked with a plan in mind to help you have a happy birthday!

The all important toilet paper was not made because there was no value, nothing important or unneeded. We could all do without it….just use a leaf like our forefathers did!

Would I say the YMCA where many work out has no value or worth, it’s not important or needed? We could just run up and down the stairs 15 times a day or walk around the block on a below zero day for 2 miles.

These ideas are crazy because we have seen the value of what they provide and how they improve our lives!

You were not put on this earth as someone with no value, not needed or unimportant. Every single person is needed. Every single one needs to bring their best skills, talents and abilities to the front, to benefit not only themselves, but others.

We’ve got to give up all this unworthiness stuff and start functioning at a higher level.

There are all kinds of needs in the world…even right where you live, and you’ve got what it takes to help at least one of them.

Everything God placed on the earth has value and is needed…you are highest on His list!

Begin to truly value yourself and see what happens.

Your Value

Jennifred Jones

Couldn’t think of anything to say today, so closed the lid on the laptop…feeling a bit discouraged about things…

Went back to my default mode when things aren’t going right, I began cleaning… for me clarity comes when I am physically doing something…usually cleaning, organizing, doing a project or digging in the garden.

Started thinking about value, my value, your value, anything’s value.

What makes us valuable? Did somebody stick something in certain ones of us that makes some more valuable than others? Or is it because of something we’ve done to ourselves?….?

Is that why we’re tempted to place more value/importance on people we think more lovely, handsome, popular, wealthy, studious, or because of their pedigree, background, inventiveness, creativity, education, travel experience, nationality…fill in the blank_______.

Our real value comes from another being’s opinion of us, the one that made us. We value our kids because they came from us, they’re part of our family…don’t care if other people like them, think they’re cute or smart…they’re ours…that’s all that matters. They are worth it to us!

So too, we’re made by the God of the universe, a real being who said we’re valuable, valuable to Him…we’re part of his family, his making. That gives us inherent value. Nobody can give it to you and nobody can take it away from you.

Your value…It’s yours to keep, ponder over, and live out!
