Making A Difference

Making a difference, one child at a time.....

Pastor's message on Sunday was in regards to how we as people who live with so much can help those in the world who do not. His message was simply this- help one child at a time. Make a difference in the life of one person today. I'd like to add to that- make a difference in the life of one person every day. It could be you father, mother, son or daughter. It could be a child next door, or one in Africa. Make a new friend wherever you may go, to dinner, the grocery store or at church. Look someone in the eye and smile. Don't wait for someone to call you- call someone. Write an e-mail or better yet find something inspirational to forward and then send it to everyone in your address book.



Let's just suppose for a moment that Mary McLeod Bethune, one of the pioneers in American education, had decided that she had a headache or was too tired to make a difference one day. As it turns out she chose to make a difference in every way that she could possibly think of, each and every day. And that's all we're asked to do. Make a difference in the life of one person, each and every day.
