Americal Idol Gives Back

For a second year in a row American Idol and many around the world did something very special during the "Gives Back" special. Actors and artists came out in support of the poor, homeless, and forgotten. It was a wonderful showing demonstration of what we as a society can do, if we want to make a change.

Despite rising gas prices, unemployment, and the threat of a recession, America was still able to rise millions of dollars to help people across the world. Seeing demonstrations like this proves that we do not have to live in a world that is full of hurting, poor, homeless, sick and forgotten people. We can change the world if we will just for a moment forget about the drama in our own lives and remember that there are people around us that need our help and support.

It is not good enough to simply see a need and acknowledge that someone should do something about it. We all must take it upon ourselves to do what we can to help someone, somewhere, somehow. If everyone did this, and stopped being self-centered, we will see a world that we are all proud to live in.

After compassion is an attribute that God has given all of us to share His love for those around us. There are people praying everyday for help...Will you answer someone prayer today?
