Along the route from work to my parents house, I pass by a church that
has one of those flashy electronic signs. Have you seen them? The
colorful ones with ever changing messages and animated pictures. Anyway, one day as I was stopped at the light near this
church, I noticed a rather intriguing message: "You may not be able to
change the world, but you can make a world of difference." Well, today I
happened upon a story about a woman in China who is a stunning example of how very true that message is. Eighty-eight-year-old Lou Xiaoying, who earned a meager living recycling trash, managed to rescue and care for
30 infants she found abandoned in the trash, despite being barely able to fend for herself: http://bit.ly/OMT5Tb.
Because of one woman, 30 children will have the chance to live and love and dream and make a difference in someone else's life. In her own words: "I realized if we had strength enough to collect garbage, how could we not recycle something as important as human lives."
I have no more excuses.
