What if our challenge in life isn’t to fix the world, but to repair our little portion of it? I believe it was Winston Churchill that said “the only way for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.”
What about our neighbor who has lost their job? Can we bring over a bag of groceries and leave them secretly at the front door?
What about the elderly person slowly approaching the store we’re leaving, can we wait a few seconds and hold the door for them?
What about the clearly down-on-their-luck person approaching us, can we smile and give them a bit of our luck just by acknowledging their existance?
What about our parent we haven’t spoken with in several years? Can we call on their birthday and let them know we do still think about them and want to have a relationship?
Can we pray for our enemies and ask for God’s will to prevail in our portion of the world?
