So far so good for the third day into this decade. Resolutions in tact, for the most part, and well on my way to keeping at least the one about not procrastinating. I decided long before the new year began that I wanted my new year to be filled with happiness beyond compare and a new vision for my life as well. I have been blogging about the need to volunteer oneself, so that we can improve someone's life outside of our own. I truly believe that my life has this calling and that I plan on using my talents this year, as a quilt maker, to make and donate quilts (via my church I pray) to orphanages or children anywhere in need. I want to think that this effort is not in vain and that any charitable contribution will be well received. My heart has always gone out to the countries in such desperate need, that when you see the pictures of their tortured lives you almost wish death upon them as to end the misery they live in. I hope that in some small way, by providing warmth, one can also provide security in a sense that it brings comfort. I know that hope is what they need the most, but any small offering will help towards a better tomorrow.
I am profoundly blessed to have been born American. My life has been one of privilege in comparison to the people I imagine I can help. I believe the world can be saved if everyone just tried to set aside their selfish ways for a moment and step out in faith to the people who need us the most. I will be setting up a new blog to follow and document my charitable quilt donations which I will be calling The Piece Quilter. Check back soon on the progress.
Point to ponder: Romans 12:1-13.
