Lenten Step 6: Join A Cause

joining-a-causeI get off the fence and join a cause today.

There is a saying, If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. It is time to release my inner activist.

Watching from a safe distance is great. It is the place where we are sometimes most vocal. The sideline is a prime overcrowded location. It is a safe place. Sadly though, it is not the place where changes usually occur.

There is so much I can do to contribute to meaningful change in the world. So many organizations are in need of help.

I can donate my time, share my knowledge, be a voice and speak out on issues and also donate money to fund the change.

Investing in some serious thought and research might even lead me to the conclusion that I need to start a cause.

Renny Terella as a contribution, blogged about his friend’s cause in support of global women fighting against poverty. This cause is part of the effort of the organization called Care.

Sometimes all we need is a little bit of inspiration. Ordinary people with an extraordinary amount of love and compassion are getting off the fence.  You should too.

So why not join a local cause in your community or your country today.

Or sign up with an online organization such as Kiva, or Save Darfur.

Remember, today is a day to get off the fence. It is a day to take a stand on one or more issues. Go get involved now.

And please share with us what you are doing.
