I was watching the CNN Heroes night ,last week, and was truly amazed at all the wonderful things ordinary people do for one another. It was extremely moving and brought tears to my eyes. It made me ask myself, how come I dont do more. I told my husband I felt pretty useless, after watching these people.
I really began to wonder how do they come up with the resources to start these projects. These projects ranged from building schools in remote poor areas, to a library which ran off a donkey cart ,in Ethiopia, and donating time to help amputees ,for free, in Mexico.
I have always said that one day I would like to do a mission somewhere, really help a community, in need. I would love to take the whole family , so everyone could help, and they could learn about how others live. Hopefully realizing how lucky we are.
Thank goodness there are people who truly care for others, for what would our world be like without them.....
Something a friend of mine said to me, after I was feeling useless. She said you dont have to go around the world , to find people in need, they are in your own community. It was a great statement, because no matter how big or small the help is that you give, it all matters....so I guess that is a starting point for me.. and maybe for you too.....
