Did you ever notice that the grass nearest the sprinkler, with the exception of an occasional leak or drip,  gets the least attention and becomes a “Bare Spot”?

How ironic is it that something meant to nurture everything within its reach is unable to attend to the life closest to it.

If we are sprinklers and the grass is the people in our lives, who are the ones closest to us in the “Bare Spot”?

Our immediate family?  Our best friends?  Our most loyal employees? Our best customers? Our biggest fans?

If you were shopping for a sprinkler, wouldn’t you look to see if it left a “Bare Spot” before purchasing?

If you were exploring a friendship or considering joining a company or following a band, wouldn’t you be curious how they nurtured the people closest to them?

I am so guilty of this.  Even as I am writing this, I am making a list of family, friends, employees and customers that are in my “Bare Spot”.

Let’s get out there and tend to the “Bare Spots” today.
