Nobody makes a greater mistake than he who does nothing because he could only do a little.

Edmund Burke once said: 

“Nobody makes a greater mistake than he who does nothing because he could only do a little.”

Imagine if everyone who heard about this project to send needed supplies to Bamboi, Ghana each did something.  My daughter and I would be sending hundreds of containers full of supplies to the poorest tribe in Ghana and that would change their lives!

I would encourage you today,  if you feel like you don’t have much to give and that your “small” amount won’t make a difference.  Think again!

Mother Theresa made a huge impact in this world and yet she had little to give financially.  If she wouldn’t have been willing to give the little that she thought that she could give, we wouldn’t all know her name today!

Could you give the “little” that you have today and maybe encourage a few of your close friends to do the same.  If so, you have really given the total amount by your efforts.
