A reflection, from Stephen McDonald
 
 
In all this world there is nobody like you. Since the beginning of time, there has never been another person like you. Nobody has your smile, your eyes, your hands, your hair. Nobody owns your voice, your handwriting, your unique way of communicating with others.
 
You're special
 
Nobody can paint like you. Nobody has your taste for food, music, dance or art. Nobody in this world sees things as you do. In all time there has never been  
anyone who laughs exactly in your way, and what makes you laugh or cry or think may have a totally different response in another.
So – you're special
 
You are different from any other person who has ever lived in the history of the world. You are the only one in the world who has your particular set of abilities. There is always someone who is better at one thing or another. Each person is your superior in at least one way. But nobody in the world can reach the quality of the combination of your talents, your feelings. Through all eternity, no-one will ever love, walk, talk, think or act exactly like you.  
Remember – you're special
 
You are rare and in all rarity there is enormous value. You are special, and it is no accident that you are. Please realise that God made you for a special purpose. God has a job for you to do that nobody else can do as well as you can. Out of billions of applicants, only one is qualifies. Only one has the unique and right combination of what it takes – and that one is you.  
You are very special!
