Today is Tuesday, October 13th, 2009; Karen's Korner #1672

Each year the USA Weekend magazine insert in Sunday papers, sponsors Make a Difference Day nationally on the fourth Saturday of October. This year the event is set for Saturday, October 24.
 
For the eighth year, the Marys & Marthas (M & Ms for short), an ecumenical group of gals to which I belong, does something for Make a Difference Day and this year is no exception. Each year we try to involve our community and most years we schedule to do things more than one day to facilitate more people's schedules.
 
This year we are calling what we are doing "8 Days in October", working to make a difference from this coming Saturday, October 17 until the 'real day' - Saturday, October 24. If you live in the Clarion area, chances are pretty good you have already heard of the event.
 
No matter if you live in Iowa, Minnesota, MIssouri, Montana, or Colorado and are reading Karen's Korner, I would like for you to ask God how you can make a difference for Him and His Kingdom. Then do it and let me know! It doesn't have to be hard, time consuming, nor in Clarion.
 
It might be a phone call to a needy friend. You might want to offer to pick up groceries (or take a person to church) for someone who can't get around is easily as he/she used to. You know your busy schedule and so does God. Between the two of you, find a way or several ways to bless someone else.
 
And then let me know. I will report all of our simple, small efforts to the national office, as we make a BIG difference together in our world, for God's Kingdom!
 
Dear Father God in Heaven, You are so good to each one of us; You love us so much. Thank You for taking care of us. Show us how we can pass on Your goodness; Your love; Your care to others. We want to bless someone else in Your Name. Amen.
