They come in with metronome precision. Each delivery seems unable to leave its mark.
However, over time those little drops of water create a new landscape.
The Colorado and Niagara Rivers have done more than create new shoreline, the iconic landmark Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls, are an ever-changing testament to the power of incremental change.
It's a good object lesson.
Most of us don't have dramatic jobs like police, fire, or those in military service - whose roles make an obvious difference to the world around them. We work, go home, and do it all over again the next day - and if anyone asked what difference we made, it might be difficult to demonstrate.
That doesn't mean we aren't getting things done; more likely, it means we aren't paying attention to the impact our presence has on those around us.
If you woke up this morning (and I'm pretty sure you did!); you ARE making a difference in the world around you - and those differences (great and small) are changing the world around you.
Keep going into work; showing up at church; help out the non-profits that enrich your lives; be there for family and friends... like those little drops of water coming into the beach you are leaving your mark (even if it's imperceptible) behind.
