In a time of need the silence of friends can be deafening.

I have been thinking a lot about change lately. I was just talking the other day with a friend of mine about how people expect change. People expect change to come from one person or a group of people. The president, congress, the courts…. People think I helped nominate this person or I voted for this so now things should change. What we fail to realize though is that yes we may have initiated some sort of change with a vote, a gesture, whatever… but we have to BE the change we want to see. We have to stop worrying about the insignificants in life and step up to the plate, put ourselves out open up and be the change. We get caught up in our own lives and problems and forget the big picture that involves everyone, not just ourselves or our immediate family. I recently helped out at the convoy of hope make a difference day. I gave a service that I could give which was cutting hair, to make a difference to peoples lives. I am poor, I cannot always afford the things that my kids need, my kids dont get to do the extra carricular activities… however that didnt stop me from putting myself out to help others. I understood where they were in life and I wanted them to know that someone cared. So despite our own problems, despite our own needs we have to remember that to get ourselves in a different place in life we have to be that change that we want.

A friend sent a quote via facebook that really hit home with me.
“I always wondered why somebody doesn’t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody.” - Lily Tomlin.

In retrospect, the most profound changes I personally have witnessed in my time as a christian have grown from rather insignificant beginnings. Usually when I’m not dwelling on the grand “gesture” of giving or outreach. The more I think about it, He really always seems to work with remnants and rubble….small insignificant things and people….

Zech 5:10 Does anyone dare despise this day of small beginnings? They’ll change their tune when they see Zerubbabel setting the last stone in place! (temple rebuilt)” (message ver)

So that’s been my re-focus…change my corner of the world. I started with cleaning toilets at the Kitchen and we’ll just go from there!!!!

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after ophans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being palluted by the world. James 1:27
