- Teach them how to pick up a hammer to build homes for the homeless,
- pick up a pen to write positive, helpful articles on how to work their way out of poverty and loss,
- pick up a shovel, hoe and rake to plant seeds of kindness, gardens of hope, and reap crops of happiness and health to share with their neighbors or hungry community.
- Pick up a book and teach a child to read and write,
- clean out a closet and provide clothes for the naked and those standing in the cold.
- Bake a loaf of bread or some cookies and share it with a lonely person who just needs a friend to talk to or a shoulder to cry on.
- Be the change that others need...not by standing around carrying signs and screaming or tearing down old, rusty statues that have no power to hurt or hinder our progress unless we allow them to...
- but be the change that helps our brother and sister find some hope for a new path in life.
- Reach across the aisle and shake hands with your neighbor and do something positive to help make your community and world a better place for all of the human race.
Welcome to my "Open Window"...a place of hope, encouragement, and adventure as we journey down the road from "Closed Doors" to the new opportunities God places in our pathway. I hope you will take the time to go back and follow the trail of mixed blessings and fears, failures and triumphs from the past and side-trips in the present. Perhaps it will conjure up some of your own special memories, and be an invitation for you to share with others. I look forward to spending this time with you!
