I sprang out of bed
at 5:30 this morning. The hubby had just left for work and I could have laid
around for another hour before getting up. Instead I threw a load of clothes in
the wash, went out and picked some rhubarb, baked a rhubarb cake for my
coworkers, showered, hung those clothes out on the line, finished getting ready
for work. Hmm? I thought there was something else? Besides taking out four
pieces of rhubarb cake and putting them in a dish for the hubby to take to his
mom’s after work.
Driving to work, I
decided, having no better ideas, that I would post my mom’s rhubarb cake recipe
as my blog tonight. Then the following lyrics
on the radio caught my ear:
 |
| Did I change their lives? Yes, if only for the day I was able to visit them. |
If not us, then who
If not me and you
Right now, it’s time for us to do something
If not now, then when
Will we see an end
To all this pain
It’s not enough to do nothing
It’s time for us to do something.
(from “Do Something” by Matthew West)
Ok, maybe everything I
accomplished in that extra hour this morning didn’t change the world for anyone
else (except for those who ate my rhubarb cake), but it just got me thinking,
that yes, we can all do something. Anything is better than nothing. I continue
to be the proponent for “make a difference”. Anyone can do something. Anyone
can change a life.

Hummmmm, I never have felt I have made a difference in somebody's life, but your caption under your picture made me aware that I must have somewhere along the way made a difference.
Of all the people I know, you Denise are one who makes a difference all the time. I have heard enough of your stories to know this is true.
