Start with love

I don’t know about you, but when I hear about bad things happening in the world, I want to help. I want to do something that will make a difference. But sometimes, I feel daunted. What can I do that will really have an impact?

That’s how I was feeling this week as I was bombarded with news about political ugliness, fighting over gun control after the Orlando shooting, another bombing in Turkey … and on and on. Where could I even begin?

As if in answer to my question, this simple thought caught my attention: “Start with love.”
