What Would You Do?

"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....
