Have you ever thought about the importance of M&Ms in your life? Think back over your life, haven’t they always made you happier? Did you enjoy special occasions more because they were a part of it? Wouldn’t you like to have some right now?
You may think I’m talking about the colorful candy that “melts in your mouth, not in your hand.” But the M&Ms I’m referring to are Models & Motivators.
Models are placed in our lives so we can learn by their example. Through models we learn things like being a good sport, living with integrity, and being a Christ follower. Can you think of some of the models you’ve had in your life? What life lessons have they taught you?
Motivators provide the encouragement we need to get the job done. They not only want the best for us, but they honestly believe we can do it! Motivators remind us that the situation around us is no match for the strength that lies within us. Who has helped you stay motivated when life gets hard? Who is motivating you now?
If M&Ms are so great, shouldn’t everyone have some? Absolutely! Everyone deserves to have a handful of M&Ms in their life. Which also means each of us should also BE an M&M in someone else’s life. We are called to be Models & Motivators for those around us. When we receive instruction and encouragement, we are then equipped to give instruction and encouragement to others. In the end, we’ll all be a whole big bowl of happy!
Be blessed!
