A favorite analogy I once heard stated that there are two types of people in this world. One type walks into a room with the "here I am" perception. This individual continually draws attention to himself...dominating conversations with his job, life, accomplishments, goals and self-importance.
The other type walks into the room with the "there you are" perception. This individual focuses on others...listening, encouraging, caring and serving them unselfishly.
I am frequently reminded of both types in daily life. Obvious examples are found everywhere. Unfortunately, I sometimes make choices in the "here I am" mentality. Other times, I make "there you are" choices. I pray I learn to consider the hearts and lives of others much more than my own. This world never ceases to need arms reaching out to others...for Him...and to Him.♡~thl
