Another way in which I "be the change I want to see" or "change the world one at a time" is by going places that teens go. Like to the basketball courts at the park, the mall, and just walking the streets. Then not judging them for doing dumb things. Teens do a lot of dumb things. Asking inquisitive questions that require more than a one word answer. Being interested in what they are doing and what they have to say.

I have a short story. The reason I tell it is to demonstrate what a small gesture can do to impact a life. I was on a date once, he took me to Denny's, our server was kind of crabby and it was late. She was about 16 or 17. She just happened to tell us that she was having a terrible night. Things got worse for her while we ate. Before we left she apologized for her service. We told her it was fine that she did a great job. Then we left, we bought her a bouquet and brought it back. As soon as my date handed it to her she began to sob, well no full out cry uncontrollably. She said that no one has ever done anything like that for her before, and that this really changed her outlook on life. Even if it did for only a moment or a day it was worth it. You know we just told her that no matter what life brings God will always be there for her. I guess the point of the story is that all we have to do is care for each other. Love each other as the Lord commands. We can change the world. I feel like I have been an inspirational speaker in this blogging experience, or maybe a preacher or even just a gal on a soapbox. Take it all as you will, let God guide your passions as he has mine.
