One Life Can Make A Difference!

Increasingly each day we are overwhelmed and feel like our world is spinning out of control and we are powerless to change a thing -- ever feel that way?

Yesterday, Dennis came to me and told me he had something he would like to share with me. Dennis works for a collection agency and manages a particular office. The agency is open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, and has offices around the world.

Dennis shared that he is often frustrated by the fact that he many times is required to work on Sundays and is prohibited from attending worship. Being frustrated, this past week when his boss visited he informed his boss that he felt the company was putting money before God and that he (Dennis) felt it was wrong and was no longer gong to require the emplyees in his branch to come in on Sundays before 2:00 pm, and that way give each employee in his office the chance to worship.

Later that afternoon Dennis' boss came back to him and informed him that after thinking about it, he agreed, that Dennis was right. He told Dennis that from that moment on everyone in the company would have the opportunity on Sunday AM to attend their place of worship -- all 6,000 employees!

One person, speaking up and taking a stand, can make a difference.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
