Making a Difference

Yesterday Nicole blogged about participating in the miracle of remediation. Tonight I sit in front of my television watching American Idol in which they are spotlighting poor families from around the who are suffering or dieing from AIDS, starvation, Malaria etc... and they are asking for simple donations to make a difference in the lives of these kids, to make a difference for these families. Imagine if each person watching the show donated even a dollar they could raise millions of dollars. A small part from each person watching could build up to make a significant difference. There are many ways we can make a difference in the lives of children and families. We may not have the money, or time, or other resources to make a huge difference today, but the little differences we make in our daily lives can be what results with a huge impact tomorrow. Imagine what a little bit of time spent each day focusing on remediating your child's autism could do long term. Just imagine!

Marian Wright Edelman: "We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee."

What are you doing today to make a big difference tomorrow?
