Kassie Tyers

Story Behind the Song:
There are two stories that inspired this song. A girl once told me “Kassie, I want to be famous so I can make a difference in this world.” So I told her, “Girl, you don’t have to be famous to make a difference. Reach out to the people around you, simply love them, smile, give and put them first. That will be make a difference.” It’s a “pay it forward” kind of deal. When we do something nice to someone else, they are most likely to do something nice to someone in return. So a random act of kindness can actually reach out to thousands of people!

The second inspiration to this story was a woman I know who lost two husbands to cancer, a son to a concussion and a grandson in his sleep. You would think that she would be a bitter, grouchy old woman. Actually, she is one of the most joyful people I know! This woman has touched thousands of people with her love, smile and care. She runs a laundromat and reaches out to people every day. She feels that her life purpose is to spread the love and joy of Jesus Christ to everyone she meets. She is such an inspiration to me!
