Do Something

I sprang out of bed at 5:30 this morning. The hubby had just left for work and I could have laid around for another hour before getting up. Instead I threw a load of clothes in the wash, went out and picked some rhubarb, baked a rhubarb cake for my coworkers, showered, hung those clothes out on the line, finished getting ready for work. Hmm? I thought there was something else? Besides taking out four pieces of rhubarb cake and putting them in a dish for the hubby to take to his mom’s after work.
Driving to work, I decided, having no better ideas, that I would post my mom’s rhubarb cake recipe as my blog tonight.  Then the following lyrics on the radio caught my ear:
Did I change their lives? Yes, if only for the
day I was able to visit them. If not us, then whoIf not me and youRight now, it’s time for us to do somethingIf not now, then whenWill we see an endTo all this painIt’s not enough to do nothingIt’s time for us to do something.(from “Do Something” by Matthew West)


Ok, maybe everything I accomplished in that extra hour this morning didn’t change the world for anyone else (except for those who ate my rhubarb cake), but it just got me thinking, that yes, we can all do something. Anything is better than nothing. I continue to be the proponent for “make a difference”. Anyone can do something. Anyone can change a life.
