Change The World Poem

“When I was young and free my imagination had no limits, I dreamed I could change the world.

As I grew older and wiser, I realized the world would not change, and I decided to shorten my sights somewhat and change only my Country. But it seemed immovable.

As I entered my twilight years, in one last attempt, I sought only to change my family, those closest to me; but alas, they would have none of it.

And now here I lie on my deathbed, and I realize perhaps for the first time, that if I had only changed myself first, then by example I may have influenced my family, and with their encouragement and support, I may have bettered my country.

And who knows? I may have changed the world.”

Happy Thanksgiving World

A sincere wish from my family to yours. We wish you:

  • PEACE in your Soul
  • JOY in your Spirit
  • LOVE in your Heart

We pray for this – for you, your family, and especially all those people less fortunate – every night before dinner.

And as many sit at their tables today, they will be saying similar prayers. This helps make the world a better place.

Too bad Thanksgiving isn’t an official holiday every day.

But, thankfully, many make it a daily holiday, even without official permission.

Dear God, Am I Greedy?

Dear God, where are you?

Don’t you have anything to say?

Why won’t you listen?

And why don’t you answer my prayers?

Maybe we are greedy. Maybe, just maybe….

“To do all the talking and not be willing to listen is a form of greed.” — Democritus of Abdera

Be still. Be quiet. Listen. God’s presence surrounds us. Every minute of every day.

Whether we listen or not.
