Is It Possible That Having Lunch With Me Isn't Very Exciting?

About three and a half minutes ago Rachel told me, "I like having lunch with you."

I thought, "Isn't that nice?"

And it gave my self-esteem a boost. It felt pretty good to know my companionship was valued and appreciated. I smiled with a confident satisfaction.

A moment later I looked up and saw her stretched out in the booth, fast asleep. Apparently, having lunch with me is not just nice for Rachel it is also incredibly relaxing.

I'll admit my confident satisfaction has diminished a bit.

Image Bearers of God

All people are image bearers of Almighty God.  This helps us understand that just being a person—that simple fact, all by itself—gives a person a status of worth, dignity and value. We humans, alone among God’s creatures, are the only ones created in His own image. So, that should give us all a little shot of self esteem today…we are image bearers of God!
