Thirty Deeds in Thirty Days-Make a Difference in Someone Else's Life

OK, you've waited long enough. The wait is finally over. While sleeping out on the streets of San Diego to call attention to Homelessness and raise funds for The Trinity House, a California non-profit involved in transitional housing I had plenty of time to reflect, pray and ask God what should my next undertaking be. He answered by saying stay simple and spread my services around to others who could benefit; at the same time he said, "don't just talk the talk" (I am my Brother's Keeper), "Walk the Walk" and serve as a human example that everyone can do something to serve someone else and how much of a better world would it be if it caught on! So it really doesn't matter what the deed is; spending time with Senior Citizens, washing cars for a local charity or pop warner football team to raise funds for uniforms, volunteering to read or tell stories to children, thanking Soldiers for their service to our country at a local USO, feeding the needy and homeless at Thanksgiving, visiting the sick at a local hospital, placing flags on a cemetary, walking dogs for a cause, enter a charitabe walk-a-thon, man the phones for a charity telethon, speak to students about life at a local school, helping in a local "clean-up community campaign or volunteering to answer the phones at a non-profit agency. In these recessionary times, simple things go a long way. As we enter the month of November, while many of us think about what to give for Christmas, whose house to visit for the best Turkey dinner or watching as many football games as possible, let us not forget the "true" meaning of Thanksgiving........... Make a difference in Someone Else's Life-Give of yourself to others just one day. Try it-I dare you!
