Did You Make a Difference Today?

Did you make someone happier just by passing their way? Will anyone remember the words you spoke to them today? As this day comes to an end and its busy hours fade away, will anyone think of you with a smile for something kind you did or say?

When you greeted a friend today, was it warm and cheerful, or a quick and cold hello as you hurried on your way? Were you caught up in yourself, rushing through your day, or is there someone out there grateful for a simple deed you did today?

As the day slips away and you prepare for rest, can you truly say you helped a single person among the many you passed? Is there a heart that’s lifted, a spirit renewed because of what you did or said? Did your actions today give someone the strength to look ahead with hope instead?

Did you waste the day, or make it count? Did you leave behind a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent? As you close your eyes tonight, would God look down and say, “You’ve earned another tomorrow by the good you’ve done today”?
