Making a Difference

While driving to a friend's house last night, Rick and I were having a conversation. I could hear bits and pieces of the conversation Wally was having on his own in the back seat. At one point, I was surprised at what I heard so I asked him to repeat it.

He said. "I need to do something on this earth, I need to make a difference on this earth."

We told him we thought that was a great idea. Rick and I returned to our conversation and a few minutes later heard something that made me laugh and smile.

"I give up! This earth isn't changing. This is too hard. I can't make it change."

We tried to explain that change takes time and that he has his whole life to work on it. Not sure if he understood, but I am looking forward to seeing him make a difference in the world the way he has made a difference in mine.
