As I took a break from doing stats, I went onto facebook. I scrolled down and watched the Miss Singapore video which was quite funny but I shall not comment on that. As I continued to scroll, I saw yet another friend posting up Sam and Esther's story. It was then that I remembered I have not watched the follow-up. The video took us back to Uganda where Sam and Esther are doing much better now that they are receiving support from many people. 

The Change

"It was truly amazing to see them in person...to see them smiling, to see them being held and loved and responding to the attention". (narrator in the video)

Many people may watch the video and realize how fortunate they are as compared to those children. but snap! within the next few minutes or couple of days, everything learnt from the video is thrown away. People continue to live lives like before. What changes have they made? Often we forget about being thankful everyday for the abundance of blessings the Lord has showered upon us. It reminded me that giving thanks daily is a conscious effort. It is not a one time attempt to make a difference, it is a constant effort to influence a change. 

Person to person, moment to moment, as we love, we change the world
