The Big Picture
Fri Feb 07 2003

This came home with one of my son's from his school, promoting an upcoming event. I have taken out the parts specific to the event, but wanted to share the gist of the story. It continues on with the theme that everyone matters.


I took my son to school today, and as we entered the classroom we noticed a new picture hanging on the wall. Walking over to look at it, my son pointed excitedly, “Hey Mom, isn’t that you?”

Looking closely, I could see that it was me. We looked more, and recognized other members of our family in the picture also. My son pointed out all the people that he knew, teachers, friends, neighbors, and even saw the mayor and governor. The people in the picture were all working together in the community.

My son asked, “What is this picture?”

His teacher replied “This is The Big Picture. You are part of it, I am part of it, and everyone around you is part of it. Without each person there, the picture would not be complete. We are all part of the big picture.”
