Well today was the final day of an amazing week. I truly feel grateful for having had the opportunity to travel to Mississippi and meet such wonderful young adults who are dedicated to making this world a better place.Everyone who participated in the program has shared an experience that will remain in their hearts and memories for a lifetime. Coming to the gulf coast has also given me a new found appreciation for all the things that too often are taken for granted. It reminds me that it is the little things that make our lives worth while.
So many people along the coast have had their homes, businesses, and automobiles taken from them. Yet what was left was a community full of people who understand that love for one another is all that truly matters.
The participants may have been building and repairing homes, but what matters more to the people of Southern Mississippi is that we came and we care. Its hard to describe the feeling you get when you know that what you have done has made someone else's life better. For me that is what truly brings me joy and that is why I have chosen to LIVE UNITED.
I will be following up with all the details in an upcomming edition of the newsletter. Until then, rember that no matter how big or how small, everyone can do something to make this world a better place.
