The Power of a Pebble and your Smile

If we all resolved to be better people we would touch so many lives who need that caring hand that leads to hope and a better life. What if in 2019 that began with you? Think of the impact you would make if you reached out and touched one life, who touches another, and that life changes another. One small stone can create a ripple effect of caring that begins simply by being that tiny stone. When you think your life doesn’t make a difference, please think about the influence of a little stone cast into a pond.

I leave you with this thought. Light up someone’s life with your smile — that outstretched hand in their life circumstance. It won’t change the world, but it will change theirs.

Father, please remind us when the struggle seems unending, when the trial is overwhelming, when darkness overcomes us and we can’t see light,  when hope is hard to find, that we can still change a person’s life with our smile, and being there for that one person. While we may never change the world, we can cast that pebble into a pond and show that smile to that one person who needs it. Who knows? That person might even be me. Amen.
