Once, when my family and I were driving in Los Angeles, we saw what seemed to be a dead bird lying in the road. I drove past it and almost ignored it. Then something compelled me to drive around the block and return to the bird. I got out and placed the bird on the side of the curb. To my utter surprise, the bird trembled and stirred, and as we drove away, it flew into the air. Apparently, it had been lying on the main road injured and needed a little support to get back on its wings. Had I left the bird, another motorist might have crushed it. How little effort it sometimes takes to save a life! And it set an excellent example for my children, who were in the car.
Small acts make a difference. The difference may not be anything big; in fact, many relationship issues arise because of small things. Giving in small ways, whether at home, at work or in your community can build momentum towards a big difference!
