"Gladitude"

“You are called to the place where YOUR deep gladness and the WORLD’S great hunger meet.”    Frederick Buechner
 
I have long believed in the following anonymous saying given to me 46 years ago: 
“What you do, what you say and who you ARE,
Touches people in ways you may never ever know.
For you are like your shadow…..you extend to where you may never be.”
 
Our world is in a place that most of us have never experienced before. Opinions, actions/reactions and decisions made differ widely. Uncertainty fills the air. As I watch the events unfold each day, I can’t help but be convinced that each of us can make a difference for good, and make our world a place of unity vs. divide.
 
We make a difference by answering our call to the place where our attitude of “gladitude” touches another, right at the end of our hand:  by a word, by a deed,  by just ‘being’ for another  person. By your living life “at the end of your hand”, grasping the opportunities before you, the world will change,
 
Whose life will YOU touch today?
