All Psyched Up: I’m special

By Dr. Linda Hancock on December 27, 2025.

So, I bet you have all been wondering what I wore for the Christmas Dinner and Dance. I threw out the idea of Mrs. Claus and anything elf-like. Instead, I wanted to capture the true spirit of Christmas and therefore purchased a beautiful angel costume – halo, wings, jewelry and all.

Because I go to every table during the evening to give small gifts and visit with the attendees, I decided to fill a heart covered bag with encouraging verses signed Love God. Finally, I printed off 200 of the beautiful “I’m Special” verse and will tie each copy in scroll fashion with gold ribbon to give to all the guests.

Following is the powerful reading for you to enjoy during your holiday celebrations or when you have a special quiet time:

I’m special

“I’m Special.”

In all the world there is nobody like me.

Since the beginning of time, there has never been another person like me.

Nobody has my smile. Nobody has my eyes, my nose, my hair, my hands, my voice.

I’m special!

No one can be found who has my handwriting.

Nobody anywhere has my exact tastes for food or music or art.

No one sees things just as I do.

In all of time there has been no one who laughs like me, no one who cries like me. And whatever makes me laugh or cry, will never provoke identical laughter and tears from anybody else, ever.

No one reacts to any situation just as I would react.

I’m special!

I’m the only one in all of creation who has my set of abilities.

Oh, there will always be somebody who is better at one of the things I’m good at, but no one in the universe can reach the quality of my combination of talents, ideas, abilities and feelings.

Like a roomful of musical instruments, some may excel alone, but none can match the symphony sound when all are played together.

I’m a symphony.

Through all of eternity no one will ever look talk, walk, think or do like me.

I’m special! I’m rare.

And, in all rarity, there is great value.

Because of my great rare value, I need not attempt to imitate others.

I will accept – yes, celebrate my differences.

I’m special!

And I’m beginning to realize it’s no accident that I’m special.

I’m beginning to see that God made me special for a very special purpose.

He must have a job for me that no one else can do as well as I.

Out of all the billions of applicants, only one is qualified, only one has the right combination of what it takes.

That one is me!

Because I’m Special!
