I don’t have to know who I’m encouraging but sometimes my crazy activities do in fact encourage somebody along the way. Only in heaven will I realize how many people I have encouraged this way.

Just the other day, The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage suggested
that crazy was inherited. Therefore, it's not my fault that I'm crazy. 
I can think of several uncles and cousins that are as crazy as crazy 
can be. 

Growing up with these relatives around me, I did not know or understand
that their craziness would rub off on me. I just laughed at them and 
walked away, thinking I was okay. 

As I studied my family heritage, I realized that although crazy is
inherited through family links, I have an opportunity to choose my 
crazy. I never thought about that before. But, I am as crazy as I 
choose to be. 

The only challenge I see, at least for me, is the ability to control me
and my crazy. I don't want my crazy to control me and get me into 
trouble I can't handle. But I want to understand my crazy and then use 
it for profitable purposes. 

There is somebody out there in the world who needs to experience me and
my crazy to feel good about themselves. They can look at me and think, 
“I may be crazy, but at least I'm not that crazy.” If I can do that 
each day, I'm doing an incredible amount of work for the human 
population. 

So, the last few years, I've been trying to hone my crazy to have at
least some positive results with the people around me. 

Thinking about this and looking back over the last few years some of my
encouragement has come from people who I first thought were just being 
crazy. Sometimes crazy does have a purpose. 

I thought about a special verse of Scripture that addresses this.
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as 
also ye do” (1 Thessalonians 5:11). 

I don't have to know who I'm encouraging but sometimes my crazy
activities do in fact encourage somebody along the way. Only in heaven 
will I realize how many people I have encouraged this way.
