Making a Difference

There's nothing as humbling as watching people serve others. I've seen a lot of this. What a joy. On some occasions, the people were unaware of the greatness of their actions. This is the most inspiring thing to see. Recently I watched someone prepare a meal for someone just as a matter of routine, unaware that the person in receipt of it was being enormously blessed by her generosity and open-heartedness. Even people who make a little difference end up making a big difference. Once I see it, I want to get in on the difference-making myself.

My prayer today is that I won't become blinded to difference-making by the sameness of my daily life with its repetitious demands.
