Dr. Fred Craddock tells the story of going through the Atlanta airport and stopping at a food court for breakfast.  As he sat eating his biscuit he heard this marvelous voice first singing Lara's theme from Dr. Zhivago and then after that "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing", the great Wesley hymn.  Dr. Craddock asked the wait person who was doing the singing and she said, "Oh, that's Albert back in the kitchen."  Dr. Craddock asked to speak to Albert.  A big, robust man came out of the kitchen and Dr. Craddock thanked him for the music.  Albert said, "You know what I'm doing.  I know thousands of people pass here every day and I'm auditioning.  I just hope someone will discover me someday soon."

You and I may not sing like Albert, but each of us has our own unique and special gifts.  Just as Albert blessed Dr. Craddock that morning in the airport, let us each be a blessing to someone today!

Prayer:  "Loving God, help us to be all you would have us to be, in Jesus' name.  Amen."
