William Booth and Clara Barton two people, two different countries yet one common thing to make a difference and change lives. In 1881 Clara Barton founded The Red cross in 1865 William Booth founded the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army and The Red Cross has made a huge difference in the worlds we live in from floods, famine and relocating families and friends these organizations today stand like no others. William Booth a minister and Clara Barton a nurse. Maybe ordinary people to some but today their societies go into devastating area's and help the common person to rebuild and move on in their lives.http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/www_usn_2.nsf on this site you can see how much this one organization does. Also http://www.redcross.org/ on this site see how the red cross makes a difference. Today as I asked for money to raise for my local area which has been devastated by many tornadoes I knew that these two societies would be there to make a difference even when the media is gone.
The question asked is how will we make a difference a simple thank you a simple leaving a package on a step or sending money to someone not wanting the praise. I doubt if Clara or William truly understood how their organizations would change so many peoples lives. In truth a man who died on a cross and spread out his arms and impacted generations I wonder if those people that day ever even fathomed how many lives would be changed by a man called Jesus Christ.
I hope I make a difference. How about you?
Please have a cup of tea with me today.
