Make a Difference
You'd be surprised how the smallest act of kindness can create the biggest ripple for positive change. This past Saturday was make a difference day. My town renovated an entire city block of homes that needed minor exterior improvements.
I volunteered as site manager for one of the properties. My property was a duplex. We painted, planted shrubs, replaced fencing, and installed storm doors. All the sidewalks were scraped and pressure washed.
There were 200 volunteers that came to help renovate these homes. Our amazing sponsors helped create a fun and rewarding experience for our volunteers.
While we finished up some of the projects, I watched member of the community interact with the volunteers in gratitude. They were exchanging stories and talking about past experiences. It was in that moment I realized the biggest reason for making an effort....is you will make a difference in meaningful ways you could not imagine.
Everyday we may not be a super heroe. Some days when we are, we can't solve every one's problem. I think the important thing to remember is that
Together

If you got a little, use what you've got for good. An added bonus is that it feels good to do good for others. Do good.
Abundance Always
