We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference,
ignore the small daily differences we can make which,

Marian Wright Edelman
How foolish we would be to fail to enjoy the rich gifts of God to us!
We could well miss opportunities for providing needed
blessings to others because we felt personally deprived of some hoped-for
blessing and were blinded by our own self-pity. Not only
should we be careful not to deprive others of blessings because of
our wanderings in the wastelands of self-pity or self-
recrimination, but we should be careful not to deprive ourselves of
other blessings that could be ours. While Waiting for promised
blessings, one should not mark time, for to fail to move forward is
to some degree a retrogression. Be anxiously engaged in good
causes, including your own development.
