Stand firm but don’t stand still

What are you doing to make the world a better place for your children? Quite often people feel passionate about something, not quite as often do they do something about it. I have a saying on my wall, I pass it every day and it reminds me not to complain about a situation unless I am willing to act to improve it. Here’s the saying: Stand firm but don’t stand still. Are there any situations you see could use a little help? Maybe you’ve noticed that your child’s teacher could use a classroom volunteer, or an elderly neighbor might appreciate a little help in the yard. Noticing your neighborhood could benefit from a community garden is good, but picking up your shovel would be even better. Making the world a better place for our children doesn’t mean that we have to single handedly stop all crime or end global warming but it does mean it that we do anything we can, anywhere we can, to make the world a better place. Do something you’ve been thinking about and show your child that one person can make a difference. Remember your children are watching and it only takes a moment to make a memory that may last a lifetime.
