To make a difference

To make a difference in this life,
At times seems an inaccessible task.

To know your life on earth has made a difference for good,
In the vast scheme of things;
Is a longing most have.

It only takes one person to touch a heart,
And lighten the load for another.
It only takes one heart to make a forever difference.

One person at a time,
One friend like you,
One heart like yours,
Has made a difference in my life.

I love writing and have enjoyed journaling all my life. I’ve been writing articles for Jewels Magazine over the last year, and love sharing about the Lord and encouraging others in our faith. I’m a published author of a children’s book:”Help,Lord! I Need A Bandage On My Heart.” I’m almost ready to publish my second book in the “Help Lord” series in a few months. In 2009 I received a diploma from LongRidge Writers Group, and I received an Honorable Mention Certificate in the Writer’s Digest 76th Annual Writing Competition. I feel very priviledged to have this opportunity to write for Jewels Magazine.
