God Given Daisies — by
Last week my article was about being an Ambassador
and I receive many e-mails from those who really thought about being an
Ambassador for Peace and Positivity.
I am glad that many of you seriously thought about
how you could go about being such an Ambassador and what you would have to do
to become one.
This week I would like to challenge each one of
you to become a contributor.
I know, I know, many of you just thought or said
out loud..."I am already a contributor. I contribute to this charity and
that one" and "I'm writing checks to
charities all the time."
Yes, that is one form of contributing. But that
isn't the complete story of being a contributor.
You see, anyone can be a contributor. It doesn't
take giving any money.
Anyone can contribute by giving a thought, a
prayer, a kind word, a compliment, or by giving an extra hand in helping
someone.
Anyone can contribute by cooking an extra meal and
giving it away, or by donating time to serve meals at a soup kitchen.
Anyone can contribute by holding or rocking a
crack baby in a hospital or shelter, or volunteering at a hospital or nursing
home just wheeling patients around and giving out smiles as you pass others on
your way.
Anyone can give good unused toys, clothing, and
old cell phones, to a Domestic Violence Safe House ... just call and bring
items to a Police Station.
So, this week I challenge each one of you not only
to be an "Ambassador of Peace and Positivity" but to also be a
"Contributor."
The job description to being a
"Contributor" is: one who gives, provides, donates, bestows,
furnishes, supplies, grants, dispenses, helps, gives handouts, chips in, and
pitches in to society, giving time, talents and energy. Extended hours sometimes
necessary. Rewards Plentiful.
Are you making this world a better place by being
a "Contributor"?
Imagine a business card stating:
_____Your Name_____
Ambassador of Peace and Positivity
and
Life Long Contributor to Others
.... Thanks Aunt Bette for the
suggestion!
PS: Thanks for allowing
me to be a contributor to SFPNN by writing my little stories along with some
wonderful authors.
