from footprint to loveprint

Hello everyone,
God bless! I hope you all had an amazing Memorial Day. We had a very relaxed and enjoyable one.
Spending time with the familia, window shopping and grilling some ribs.  While we were shopping I picked up a few books, ok a bunch of books, they had a sidewalk sale, as many books as you could fit in a bag, for 10 bucks! I was able to fit 22, that's less than 50 cents a book! Love it when I find deals like that!

Books ranged from novels to inspirational to business related to poetry to Bible study guides.  One of the books that I found was a small booklet about making your days matter. Giving back to society, sharing with others. Doing small deeds that can add up to really make a difference. The books gives you ideas of things you can do once a week from Writing a letter to a Military Hero, to Learning CPR, to Donating clothing and blood.  Some of things may not seem as if they are important, or if they really contribute, but it's about small steps and changing one's mindset, and realizing that their life does count and a little can go a long way!

Most people want to contribute, make a difference, and have a positive impact. We want to respond positively when we think about our legacy and the type of footprint we are leaving behind. Do we want to leave one that says we took, all the time or one that also shows how we gave, lived & loved.  You can be ordinary you and do extraordinary good things for those in this world. We are called to love our neighbor as ourselves... will you join me in making our footprint into a loveprint, one wherein little by little we change the world!  I think that you will find that while you will be making an impact on the lives of those you serve, they will make an unforgettable impression on your own.

Over the course of the year I will blog ever so often of my experience of making my days matter, and share the love!   As I write this a few songs and quotes come to mind. One is from
 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "Everyone has the power of greatness. Not for fame, but greatness.  Because greatness is determined by service."

be blessed & a blessing,
Minda
