95, with Stitches and a Heart

I’d like to do some charity work, try to make a difference in people’s lives. But I’m 95, so I’m not super strong. and I fell recently and am recovering with sore muscles and 14 stitches. You can’t expect me to do much.

If you can say this, your name is not Jimmy Carter. At 95, recovering with a black eye and stitches, he’s out there in Nashville building porches on 21 homes. He’s active and enthusiastic in his work with the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project, working with Habitat for Humanity. Read about this HERE. And take a minute to watch the short video there. Then, if you are NOT 95 and ailing, what’s stopping you from a little volunteer work?

Harvest Season

Fall is in the air. Well, on the calendar, at least. Reminds me of harvesting pumpkins and other goodies. That’s why today’s Thursday Thought quote seemed appropriate, with its lesson on harvesting.

“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.” — Robert Louis Stevenson
