A Poem by Emily Dickinson

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool the pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

This is what I want for my life. I hope that is what you want for yours too. The best way that we can give people this hope, is by pointing them to Jesus in every situation that comes up. According to "The Purpose Driven Life"- one of our purposes here on earth is to get others to know Christ. If we care about them and their needs and are pointing them towards Jesus, then their lives will be changed if they allow God to work. But we can't make that choice for them. All we can do is help them in every way possible by loving them and showing them what God is doing in our own lives. If there is someone you are trying to witness too. Don't give up. Keep working hard and remember George Bailey from the movie, "It's A Wonderful Life". You may not think that you are making a difference in anyone's life, but what would it be like if you had never existed? Have a Merry Christmas, and don't forget to point others toward that sweet little baby born in Bethlehem. It's worth it!
