I apologise if this turns into me preaching to you all again, but I feel, on today of all days, this one should come out. Today goes to MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
Now yesterday, I 'announced' to everyone my intentions to run a mini-marathon next year. I thought it was quite a nice time to do it, but I didn't mention my reasons. They will all come out later on in the year.
But then, this morning, we had aman called Paul Harris come in and take assembly. He started, and I thought 'here we go...', but by the end, I felt inspired. Probably because of what it was about, but it really hit it home for me.
He started to talk to us at depth about what he thought - he is a Christian leader, but his religion didn't come across at all. He discussed Haiti, and world poverty, and then came up with this little gem.
'The world is waiting for a generation to change'
He is so right. All this globe needs is a generation of people who are willing to give, and do what it takes to ensure eternal happiness on Earth. And yes, everyone will be sad at some point, but in terms of a global scale. So to do this, we solve world poverty, we find cures for AIDS and cancer - two of the biggest killers in the world, and we enable the poorest countries in the world to fend for themselves.
All we have to do, is simply make a difference. If every person who isn't in poverty on the planet, we'd have £3billion at the disposal of the charities and aid companies. All it takes is for people to give up a little of what they have, and the world will become such a better place.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE, you are the Day Dedicatee for Tuesday 2nd February 2010.
