God Bless the Works of your Hands
"I am writing on behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of the Community Partnership for the Prevention of Homelessness to thank you very much for creating and distributing the beautifully designed shirts given to children at the District of Columbia General Shelter.
It is particularly gratifying to receive support from members of the community which lets the children and families know that wonderful person like you care about them. It is also encouraging to the staff at DC General to know that they have your support".
When you speak to a child who has just started school or see a family nourished by the shelter and meal you’ve provided, there is a warming glow inside your heart that can’t be replicated by any other action.
It may also be on your mind that if your contribution is small, you will only be affecting one child or one family. Yet, every small action creates a ripple effect to the grander scale of things. If you hesitate with your action because you think you won’t make a difference, you’ll be delaying that magnificent ripple that will change the lives of hundreds of kids in each country.
You may think that your contribution needs to break the bank in order to count for something, but that is certainly not the case. Even the smallest donation can tip the scales and put us over the edge to help us reach our daily, weekly, or monthly goals. If every person on the planet contributed one small favor to the cause at the same time, do you know how much of a difference that would make? There are over seven billion people on this planet and as long as you’re making an effort to do what you can to make the world better, then that’s all that matters.
