The Difference of One Person
Yesterday’s blog was about if I could change the world. I ended the blog with the thought that maybe we can change the inequality of humans if we just connected with one other person. That got me thinking about the difference of one person.
In one of my class discussions we touch on the topic about how the kids/youth today are so absorb and that they don’t care about the world around them. I mentioned about the kids that I know and how they care about the world around them. The response was it is probably because the people that I hang out with have a more positive influence on those kids then most. The difference of one person.
I am connected with a group of 8000+ ladies on Facebook because a writer was looking for support and encouragement in what she was facing as well as what she was writing. To date this group of ladies on Facebook still feels small and yet it stretches across the world and is encouragement to all who find a home on this page. The difference of one person.
Preemptive Love Coalition is a small organization that was started by Jeremy Courtney who moved his family to Iraq to help the poor. Him and his organization where there when Aleppo crisis hit right before Christmas and be able to help feed and house thousands of people that were fleeing Aleppo. The difference of one person.
Mother Teresa left her home at the age of 18 to join Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns in India.* As she continued to be impacted by the love of Christ and by the sight of the poor in India, she was motivated to move to the poorest of the poor and yet has impact more than just the poorest of the poor in India. The difference of one person.

None of these leaders ever thought that their influence could and would reach thousands of people around the world. They just reached out to one person and in turn have impacted thousands.
