I believe I have made a difference in hundreds of lives. Some of them I will never know until I meet them in heaven.

On another note, don't you believe that sometimes just a smile to another human being that you pass on the street, in the hallway, on the elevator, at the store, etc., may in some small way encourage or give hope? We never know when a kind word, a thoughtful glance, an opened door, a small gesture of kindness might give another a lift in spirit.

reply
Treasur... to Mrs. V 2012/08/13 02:20:12

YES! If everyone did...this whole world would be so much better. Just sharing a smile goes such a long way... and a little act of random kindness can make all the difference. I truly believe in it. :)

difference in someone's life as a race of competition. It's nice to do so, as all have their own dream to finally meet all. But, I had a lot of dreams, and not one I failed. Now I am an old bachelor, as you no longer think of nice, always the same and go to work. Assessment of human smiles at me is short.

This is a long ...but i wanted to share it with you my friend. Yes i have made a difference in someone's life? When i was a Cancer nurse I always tried to make my patients have a good day when they were going through their treatments. I would laugh all the time tell jokes etc., etc. They all called me Nurse giggles !! Well there was this one man (Joe) who was really was special to me and we were friends and with his wife also. One day while he was in the hospital getting his chemotherapy treatments he asked me to come to his room. So i did and as i went in to his room he shut the door and walked to his bed and sat down and patted the bed for me to sit by him ...well I went wait a min. i did not know if i should ...but my heart said yes and i did! When i sat down Joe started to cry and he told me he was going to kill himself for he could not take it anymore .

But he told me (i am crying as i type this) because of me and all the praying, the faith i had, the jokes i told, the way i made everyone feel on this floor the joy i gave give him and telling him NOT to give up made him change his mind. He TOLD me that I STOPPED him from killing himself. Oh my gosh I was crying and just could not believe i made such a inpact on him. I told Joe that was the best gift he ...

I told Joe that was the best gift he could ever give me in my life. and then he took my hand and said You made such a difference to me to keep on LIVING and NOT give up and you are the best gift i got besides my wife. You gave me the HOPE and LIGHT and my Faith back.

Well Joe had cancer of the lungs and he did recover . He and his wife were able to move to Florida their dream to do. So for another six years Joe was in Florida. I got a letters from him had been writing to him all those years and talking to him on the phone. Well one day he called me and said the Cancer is back and it is in his brain. Joe he was so thankful to have the yrs. he had with his wife and family and thankful for all that i did for him. joe also said i have made peace with this and i knnow i am going to see the Lord. Joe died a year later in 1981 and after all these years he still holds a place in my heart! But i know he is looking down on me too. I still try to make a difference !!!

I am sure you were a wonderful nurse and made many differences along the way. God bless you! If we could all make a difference every day in someone's life what a wonderful world this would be. Thanks for sharing your story...(tears running down my cheeks) this story touched me so much. You bless us each week with your devotions on SH....and make us laugh on other days. Thanks for being who you are!

Everyone of us makes some sort of a difference in 'someone's' life.Sadly, in so many cases it can be a difference for the worse...

Absolutely. If I was able, I would try and make a positive impact on every living being. It doesn't take much to make a difference, even the small things count, such as a smile and a hello when you pass by someone,(walking of course) holding a door for someone, saying thank you and your welcome. All these things do make a difference, not necessarily earth moving, but every little act of kindness goes a long way.
