Try to create shiny moments...

[Barb]

If y'all get Parade in your Sunday newspaper, there is an article about giving.

Though it is dealing with charitable giving, there is a snippet of a conversation with Oprah and Denzel Washington, and there are discussing the little things that matter.

We sometimes think that we can't do much because we lack the necessary finances to make a difference, but friends, it is not about money.

There are SO many ways to create shiny moments in the lives of those in our realm of influence...

In this holiday season, may we remember to not neglect the days of small beginnings.

Who knows...it just may be your smile or kind word or warm handshake or card or phone call that will forever make the difference in a life.

Let us give in ways that matter the most...

[Elizabeth]

Amen!

One word or deed really can make a difference...
