Today's Daily Word - Monday, January 12, 2009 Making a Difference I am contributing to a better day and a brighter world for all. I appreciate and give thanks for the many people who have touched my life. They have made a difference in the direction my path has taken. Through their words and actions, friends, teachers, family members, even strangers have enriched my life and provided me with models to emulate. The gift of such exemplary people has blessed me and encouraged me to be mindful of the ways I impact the lives of those around me. How I speak and behave in the presence of both children and adults can be a positive influence. I contribute to a better day and a brighter world for all. My prayer-filled thoughts, the words I speak, and the gifts of kindness I give are small steps. Combined with those of others, they contribute to an expanding consciousness of divine possibilities for our world.
