It Only Takes A Moment

The following message was sent to me via email from Rev. Kathianne Lewis, senior minister at The Center for Spiritual Living in Seattle. I thought I'd play it forward.

Mark Edmiaston shared this poem with me, and I want to share it with all of you. It’s a reminder that when we give we make someone’s life a little bit better. We can all be a part of creating a better world by doing one small thing a day for someone else. This week, look for opportunities to share what you have. Perhaps it’s a smile, a helping hand, a compliment, a suggestion, or a prayer. Together, we can make our community, and the world itself, a better place to live.

It Only Takes A Moment

It only takes a moment

to reach out to be a friend

but to the one who needs you

the memory never ends.

A simple act of kindness

to a person you don't know

may plant a seed of friendship

that for them will always grow.

We sometimes lose perspective

of the difference we can make

when we care more of our giving

and care less of what we take.

So remember that your actions

may help change a life someday.

Always think about the person

that you meet along the way.

For it only takes a moment

to reach out to be a friend

but to the one who needs you

the memory never ends.

Sent with Love & Blessings,

Rev. Kathianne Lewis

Together we thrive,

Jacqueline
