As I journey through life, I must not forget the little things that make life worthwhile and meaningful. I need to spread joy instead of sadness wherever I go. I am a child of God and my life can show the world that God lives in me, blessing others through me. As the Bible says, we reap what we sow and if we cast our bread upon the waters it shall return (to nourish us). Jesus promised us that he will bless our efforts to help others and multiply the results a hundred fold. If we ask the Lord to make us a blessing, He will be more than willing to do so. As the hymn says, “Make me a blessing, make me a blessing. Out of my life may Jesus shine. Make me a blessing, O Savior I pray, Make me a blessing to someone today.”
SPREAD A LITTLE LOVE AROUND
Ricky Skaggs
Sometimes this crazy world can make us all feel bad
I sit and watch the news and just get mad
We need to stop and smell the roses in the ground
So get out today
Spread a little love around
Talk to a neighbor
Volunteer a favor
Help out a stranger when his car’s broke down
Take your wife a kissin’
When your kids talk – listen
It makes a lovely sound
Spread a little love around
You know it don’t take to much to make somebody’s day
A kind word or tender touch goes a long way
We can change the whole world if we start in our hometown
So get out today
Spread a little love around
Tell your mom you love her
Bear hug your brother
Treat your sister to a night out on the town
Throw the ball for Rover
Wrestle in the clover
Put a smile on that old hound
Spread a little love around
Pretend you’re Orphan Annie
Tickle on old granny
Dance with the kids and act like a clown
A little tiny kiss and hug
Everybody needs that stuff
Turn a frown upside down
Spread a little love around
When this world gets you down
Spread a little love around
