Most of us wont ever be great leaders, write soul shattering books, make that amazing scientific discovery, paint that masterpiece....and thats okay. Because we can all make the world a far better place, even in our regular day to day lives; to quote Charles Dickins, No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it to anyone else. We can all spread kindness, be a listening ear and a compassionate heart. We can all use our hands to aid others in their work, we can use our words to champion those more vulnerable than ourselves. By living a life that seeks to make a positive difference in those around you, you will cast out ripples-- one deed spreads into many. The broken hearted friend that you listen to, pray for and help very well may go on to be such a help to a dozen more people. That child whose future you champion may change the lives of thousands of people. That person whose suffering you eased may carry a message of compassion to someone else who desperately needs to hear it. That family you feed may change the direction of an entire community in the years to come. A gentle smile, a helping hand, a caring heart, a praying soul, a good natured joke, a meal and clothing may not seem like much to give to another, but any of those things can alter a life for the better. Be blessed, my friends, and may you be a blessing unto others. -Beth Haynes Butler
