Ripples in Life
Read: Matthew 12
One day I sat under a shady tree, gazing at a serene pond, when a dry, light leaf floated onto the water, causing ripples to radiate outward.
I was surprised that something so light could make a difference to the water’s surface. Then it came to me; maybe, in a small way, an eighty-plus year-old woman could still make some ripples in life.
A call, a smile, a hug, a note, a meal, a donation. There are so many ways to send out love and kindness to others.
I later thought about the special message I was given, when I watched the leaf fall from the tree. It was time for me to get busy.
God works in mysterious ways.
