The Simplest Importance


The simplest actions are often the most important actions.

One of the simplest - yet most important - encouragements echoes through my memory to this day. When something became extremely difficult, my dad would say, "Don't ever give up!" This philosophy was easy to believe and adopt, because I would see him apply it in his life repeatedly. He would solve seemingly impossible problems by sticking with them as long as necessary.

Today, we are watching heroic efforts of volunteers and emergency workers who are working to help tornado victims across the country. To see victims who have lost their homes relentlessly helping others is awe-inspiring.

It often seems that one individual can do so little, when so much needs to be done in our world. However, each of us, individually and in teams, doing what we can do - sharing our time and talents in ways we are best suited - is precisely how positive changes occur. We cannot build or rebuild our world to accommodate all of us, without each of us in participation.

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) said, "Almost everything you do will seem insignificant, but it is important that you do it." None of us is insignificant; every action, regardless how small it appears, is important: a helping hand, a word of encouragement, a simple gift of kindness when someone's hopes have dimmed.

All of us can be the simplest importance in someone's life today.

GOD WILL BLESS ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
