The Lives You Touch

“My life shall touch a dozen lives before this day is done,
Leave countless marks for good or ill ere sets the evening sun,
This is the wish I always wish, the prayer I always pray;
Lord, may my life help other lives it touches by the way.”
-Anonymous

You often recognize the influence and impact you can have on those close to you and those you work or interact with every day.

But what about those “one and done” interactions? The clerk at the convenience store? The waiter when you go out to eat?
The person you pass coming out of the grocery store?

Every interaction that you have today matters. With every interaction you leave a little bit of yourself and you make a choice.

You make a choice to make experiences meaningless, and even miserable, or you can give them a smile and help to make their day.

Your life will touch dozens of lives today;
may you help them in some way.

I’m cheering for you.
