Make A Difference

Driving to work can sometimes be boring. I don't have a working radio in my van. Recently I've started listening to the downloaded music or radio stations on it.  One morning I was on my way to work and had a song on my mind. So I went to my downloaded music and began searching for the song
"Generous Mr. Lovewell" by MercyMe. I met MercyMe back in 2011 and asked what inspired them to produce this son.  Bart said "we wanted to do something fun and we enjoy Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band." But when you listen to the words of the song,    it is much deeper than Sgt. Pepper. you've heard the saying "one person can make a difference"? You and I CAN make a difference in a person's life. Sometimes  it's the clerk behind the register who has a sick child on her mind. It might be a child that has been yelled at all day by his parent(s). It just might be the elderly man is missing his wife who died just a few months prior.
One small act of kindness might be all he needs to smile and feel good about himself.
Clowns try to make people laugh, why? A smile can change one's attitude quickly. Better than a smile, laugh; just laugh it will change your perspective too.
If you have the opportunity to make a difference in someone's life, I encourage you to do it well and with love. Do it today because it might be the only chance you get..  I believe you will get a blessing from it in turn.

~Encourage someone else today

Luke 6:3
But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.
