Dressember 2015 Recap: Week 3

This week has been full of Christmas, from the beginning of Christmas break to some of my favorite traditions, including going to The Music Box Theatre and watching "It's A Wonderful Life" on the big screen. I love watching the movie every year, and the part that usually gets me is the end, when all of George Bailey's friends chip in and repay the money he has lost so that he doesn't go bankrupt and end up in jail.

But this year, I was struck more by what Clarence tells George while he is trying to convince him that his life is important - "Funny how each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?" Then he reminded George of all of the good things that happened because of small things that he had done.

I think it's hard to remember, when you're in the middle of real life and doing things you think are so small, that the small things matter.

And that little things, like choosing kindness for those around you or donating a couple of dollars to help rescue women you will probably never meet, those things make a difference and they matter to someone. And that you make a difference and you matter to someone.

So the challenge for this week is to do something small that will matter to someone else. 

If you want to help with my small thing, I'm looking for 10 people to donate just $10 each to raise $100 this week for International Justice Mission and A21. (Here's the link)

If you think of your own small way to matter to someone else this week, I'd love to hear about that, too! 





Happy Dressember!
