The Power of a Photo (Or Perhaps a Word)

There is a news story on the web today with a photo of two young girls in the Congo, crying as they search for family. Reading the story makes you ache. The beauty though, is that by waving the photo, the photographer was able to help find their family & eventually reunite the girls with the mother of one of them.
Our words can achieve equally great results - not always so dramatically but sometimes quietly, like water dripping on a stone. Think of times that your words have inspired someone on to greater things or shored up someone in need.
The communicators of the world have a great power and an equally great responsibility to use that power for good.
