Small Acts Toward Enduring Good

Like a lantern in the dark, one’s light produces peace and calm in others.

By Peggy Lindsey
The desire to fix the world seems staggering these days as chaos and emotions erupt in every corner of the globe. Overwhelmed, we find ourselves feeling helpless in effecting peace. It is in these moments that we must understand that it is not our task to fix the whole world, but to offer a hand within our own towns and communities.

One small act of calm and kindness in helping another alleviates a small portion of the suffering on earth. These demonstrations of love, when allowed to multiply, can cause a great shift toward enduring good. What is needed, then, is for many to participate in these wondrous expressions of graciousness and understanding.

One of the most powerful and effective actions people can do during these stormy times is to stand up and share their light. Like a lantern in the dark, one’s light produces peace and calm in others. At times we are called to muster our courage in adverse situations, and our light within is brave enough to confront the task. Yet, it remains tender as it shows mercy and compassion.

Although the desire to make a difference is deeply rooted, there will be times when we may be buffeted by the storm, leaving us feeling worn down and discouraged. Those feelings are normal, but do not entertain despair. Firmly grasp the determination to continue!

As John A. Shedd reminds us, “A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.” May we all choose to be so bold as to reach out and become an instrument of goodness in our world so that one day humanity will know peace.
