The great Californian, Jackie Robinson once said that “A life is not important, except for the impact that it has on others.”
The seemingly simple act of Jackie Robinson stepping out on a ball field 66 years ago continues to reverberate through our country, not only inspiring us, but also having opened up doors and opportunities, and changing the way we see each other.
Each of us has the opportunity every day to ask ourselves what impact our lives have on others. What legacy are we leaving through our work, our friendships, our family life?
We pray to the Holy One, the Creator of us all, that we may have the courage to make our lives a blessing, not only in our lifetime, but for the generations that follow us as well. May this be God’s will. Amen.
