"Dreams are not about what you can buy, but what you do to change the world...."
How many of us think about winning the Powerball? Recently I bought a Powerball ticket when it was up at $300+million. Somehow we have become so jaded and think the $20million jackpots are lame. $20 million is a whole bunch of money and could make a huge impact on our society. Often when I consider buying a ticket I think of all the things I would like to buy.
When I read the quote on someone's Facebook account, I wanted to cry. I don't really lack or need anything. There are so many homeless and hungry people in my own city and how am I changing my world? I don't need $200+million to change my city. All I need to do is donate time, money, clothes, or food to any of the organizations in my city working to help people in need.
I had to sit down and ask myself, "Am I doing enough to be the hands and feet of Jesus?" Luckily, tomorrow is another day and I still have an opportunity to be who God created me to be. To serve other people and to change my world has always been a desire of my heart. I pray that I will no longer think about what I might buy, rather I will consider how I might change the world. Changing the world does not require winning the lottery....
