Sitting on a hard wooden bench listening to the numbers be called out and listening for number 29 we waited patiently for 40 minutes. Jake\u00a0held the ticket at the County Clerk’s office so I could renew my car registration for the year. We take tickets in other places also and we become a number.\u00a0 When we are born we are assigned a social security number.\u00a0 We are a number in our birth order of our family.\u00a0 At school my children have a number they go by for the year.\u00a0 In the lunch line they have a number to pay for their lunches.\u00a0 We are just another number in so many places to make it more ordered and convenient for others in charge. Are we just another number in this world?\u00a0 Another warm body that takes up space waiting in a line for something?<\/p>\n

For those who know and love us we are so much more than just another number we are central to who they are.\u00a0 Our children have probably never looked upon us as a number other than number 1 because without us their lives would spin out of control. Our spouses never see us as a number because we are their other half, the half that makes them whole on which they can rely and put their trust and hope into daily.\u00a0 Our parents might have seen us as a number in our birth order however; they have always known us as so much more, the person that we are from a baby until now.<\/p>\n

In the eyes of God we are not a number we are all individuals placed here for a specific purpose different from the next person.\u00a0 God created each one of us to be unique in all aspects from each other for a reason.\u00a0 Our quest in life is to find out who we\u00a0are and the purpose of our\u00a0 life.\u00a0 God did not create the human race to number each person, put them in a line and give order to his creation. Although in our lifetime we are made to be counted as numbers never let that number define who you are.\u00a0 You are so much more than a number to your children, spouse, parents, friends and most of all God<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
