Saying Yes
The little three letter word we use so often has so much power. It is the word “YES”. I can see myself as a child anticipating that word after asking a hope filled question. It might have been: Can I go to the lake? Can I have some candy? Can I stay overnight at my friend’s house? I can remember waiting to hear that little word — “Yes”. When you think about it, it is a very powerful word. It can bring a smile and the hope of a good experience. That little word has been used to start the process to help so many in need: “Yes, we can help you.”
I can think of six families who have heard that word when they have asked the question regarding the possibility of sending their children to the U.S. or Australia for extensive medical care. Their future became bright, but if these children are to be helped, so many people have to say yes. I am so grateful for the amazing people who make it possible to change a person’s life. If a number of people agree to help, then it is a shared effort. A life can be changed if we can find a way to say, “Yes”.
