One of my favorite TV shows used to be "On the Road" with Charles Kuralt.  He travelled all over our great country with unique stories of places and people.  One night he talked to an older gentleman from Virginia who had bought some land and made a public park at his own expense.  He put in picnic tables and playground equipment and all the other things that make a public park.  It was open to everyone.  Not only that, he raised vegetables and tomatoes throughout the year and he would put those tomatoes and veggies out on the picnic tables for anyone who wanted to enjoy them.

Kuralt asked him why he had done all this.  The man from Virginia simply said, "If you don't leave the world a better place than when you found it, what's the sense of your being here?"

Are YOU making the world a better place? 

Prayer:  "Loving God, help me to be all you would have me to be, in Jesus' name.  Amen."
