Arthur Ashe was a marvelous tennis player lost to the world too early in his life. In his playing, he thrilled audiences. In his wisdom, he challenged those of us today who shrug our shoulders and say: “But what can I do?”….about…hunger, or my neighbor’s loneliness, or a child’s fear, or…you name it.
Ashe’s suggestion:
Start where you are
Use what you have
Do what you can
Don’t wait until you are confident of success, or better equipped, or smarter, or less busy with your own commitments. Risk for the reward of seeing one hungry person fed, one homeless person sheltered, one child given a chance, one broken heart mended, hearing the sound of that inner voice saying: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
“As you have done it to the least of these, you have done it unto me.”
What can you do? What are you doing?
