Influence

There are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along. (Leo Buscaglia, late college professor)

Buscaglia describes the waiting people as those “who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.” Never “underestimate,” he says, “the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word a listening ear. . . or the smallest act of caring.” We might just help turn a life around.

Those who fear the Lord. . . share freely and give generously to those in need. . . They will have influence and honor. (Psalm 112: 1, 9)
