This morning I am having difficulty with getting my hands to move as I want them to...and so typing is a real challenge. I'm going to borrow a fabulous video post from a good friend, Padre Dave, from the PTSD and Ministry blog. (If you haven't checked out this blog, the link is at the bottom of the Chronic Hope page or click on http://www.ptsdministry.blogspot.com/)
Hope you enjoy the wisdom and words of Mark Bezos. Please click on the sentence about Mark Bezos that follows.
Mark Bezos: A life lesson from a volunteer firefighter Video on TED.com
Do what you are able to do…today. You have what you need to make a difference for someone else today. Share a kind and encouraging word with a phone call or note. Say thank you to someone you’ve been meaning to thank. Make a donation to help someone in crisis around the world, or in your neighborhood. Volunteer at a school to read a story to some pre-schoolers. Support something you believe in.
Who you are and what you do makes a difference… even if that means simply sharing the fire-fighter’s story with someone else and encouraging them. Don’t wait.
Dear Lord, no matter what limits or challenges we face today, help us to put our faith in action, even in small ways. We know you are able to utillize small actions to make a great difference for others. Please accept what we do TODAY, and bless it for the good of others. Amen.
