They Made An Impact...

My #365 for 2025 has been Impact. My thanks to blogfriend Jan for sending me a clip this week about 10 ordinary women who made an impact 40 years ago. The Irish Grapefruit Ladies. 

I confess I do not remember this story [I was very pregnant at the time - and that summer was mostly clouded by brain fog]
But I watched the video, and checked out the story. Yes, it did happen as the guy [David Nihil] says - and he tells it well . 

Thank you Jan, for reminding me that even ordinary people who are determined can make an impact. Galatians 6:9 is a good encouragement...

So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit.
Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all

  5. I love that story, and what impressed me was their persistence when there was opposition and nothing seemed to be happening. Ordinary people can make a difference.
