the Butterfly Effect

The BUTTERFLY EFFECT is a metaphor for how a small and insignificant behavior or happening can cause a major change in circumstances. [google ref]

It's hard to believe that a butterfly flapping its wings in New Mexico can ultimately cause a hurricane in China. Although it would take a very long time and the conditions would have to be right, some believe it's possible.

Today, I'm not talking about science, history, or the movie that Ashton Kutcher starred in, although these are each worth checking out. I am considering attributes like patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness...

You don't have to travel the world to make a difference. You don't have to stand on a street corner with Bible in hand to declare God's incredible love. Just be you in your own seemingly small and insignificant way--where you live, where you work--and reflect Christ love for others by being patient, kind, good, gentle, and, let's not leave out, faithful.

Just maybe you'll start a reaction that will be sweeping, extensive, pervasive.
Think of the joy!

Who knows what impact you may be making.
Let's be butterflies.
