Making A Difference

As We Make A Living… Why Not?

While Sitting In Church…

After spending a typically enjoyable morning in church and listening to a great message, my older than it used to be body calculated that it could be about time to exit the area, but the pastor sharing with us the message decided to share something else…

A Video

During the process of explaining how a team of from our church returned to Karogoto, Kenya to help out in an effort there to be a blessing to others, he…

• Shared the video
• Gave an explanation of what was going on there.
• In the process raised his hand and told about a bracelet he had — and that we could wear as well.
• And if any of us felt comfortable in sharing only five dollars to make a difference in the lives of others in Kenya, we could do that by giving…

Only Five Bucks.  Just Once.

Now here’s one of the neat parts: if you gave your five dollars, you received a bracelet with a child’s name of it from Kenya that was personally written by a child there.

And…

You signed your name to a bracelet and they would then be worn by children there as well as kind of a “bridge” between the folks there and those that had given from around the world.

(Side Note: It is my understanding that the exchanging of bracelets is not available through online donations)

You Can See It Here…

“We Can Strive To Make A Difference While Striving To Make A Living”

• No, I am not saying we have to do it at this location.
• And this is not some type of poorly crafted guilt trip to say we must give.

But what I am saying is that as I saw that, and as I am wearing my yellow bracelet thinking about what transpired in church, I am saying…

Maybe my sharing here might find someone else who says…

• “Yep, that’s me.”
• “My heart is there.”
• “I could do that.”
• “I think I just will!”

Or your responses might following this line of thinking:

• “That gives me another idea.”
• “Maybe I could…”
• And you are off making a difference in your own unique manner in your own unique place…
• While influencing others to do the same.

And By The Way, If You Would Enjoy Being An Encouragement

if by any chance you would decide to share five dollars or pass on the idea/link to others, it would be cool to reply and let me know here. At least cool to me!

You kinda no my mantra in this post: “No pressure. No guilt. Only as you might feel comfortable.”

But as I was creating this post, I thought: “Why not see if anyone would not only share in some way but share a simple ‘I enjoyed that and I _________’ response of some sort.

But beyond that…

• Does this give you any creative ideas for “making a difference while making a living?
• Would the thoughts prompt any journal entry for some reason or another?
• Maybe the video itself just gave you a ton of ideas on how to market something you have been thinking about creating?
• And what about your own blog post?  Give you any ideas?
• Or, possible, this prompted an idea or two relative to family developing and the whole idea of “giving back” as it is termed.

May these brief words of mine prove to be a blessing for you and those you love in one way or another.
