Proverbs 15:30 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health. Let’s talk about M&Ms There are two folks that come to mind when I think of the cute delicious candy; Marsha Kile and my brother Greg Anderson. One likes regular and the other peanut butter, but the passion is the same. Both of them amazingly so have the personality of the little M&M guys too: fun loving and wonderful! Notice I did not say cute and chubby! Ha! Well, there is another thing I think of when I talk about M and M’s its Motivational Mondays. Maybe you don’t know the origin of these little writings, so here goes. A long time ago I started reading to my class a “motivational moment” every Friday. I told them that sometimes it will make them think, laugh, cry, or lead to a class discussion. I quickly learned, however, that students didn’t need to be motivated on a Friday… the weekend was here and spirits were up. So, one year I decided to switch it to Motivational Mondays. They have stayed there ever since. The way I started with the faculty at Wes Del and what grew to what it is today is that I wanted to share with them as well. So began what I call ‘crapper art’! I would go into the faculty women’s bathroom and put a little saying or thought or verse each Monday for them. Well, you know the rest of the story, I just had too much to share to go on a bathroom wall, so I changed to Motivational Mondays and got the men involved in it as well. The funny thing is about these little writings is that many times I get notes back to say “that is just what I needed to hear” or “Have you been walking in my shoes, Amy”? I am so blessed by these. I have come to realize that there is a similarity between the M and M’s. Both make people smile, both bring folks together and both are meant to be shared. Because these are from our best friend, the Lord we should all motivate each other daily. Personally, I like peanut M&Ms the best because I am more than a little nutty! But I love to share with folks as well the good things that God is doing each day. All of us can motivate just by being who God called you to be.. yourself. There is no one else like you and each of you have a special joy in life to share with others. This week may you rip open a package of the fun loving and wonderful blessings that you have and share them with your friends, like the real M&M’s they will bring a smile.
