From my friend Elaine:
This morning I was reminded of something I know we all already know. I saw an article on yahoo stating that the world’s oldest person had died. What made me think was the list of nearly 560+ decendents she accumulated in roughly 100 years. We will all have 560 decendents by 2106, even if we don’t know them. It was a nice reminder for me to remember why it is so important to do our job well. We ARE changing the world, through birth or adoption, while we are sweeping the floor, changing diapers, making sure that that one particular child who doesn’t really want to do their schoolwork does it anyway, reading great literature with our children, etc. We know there is no guarantee that our 560+ decendents will be practicing our faith in 2106, but I am going to do my part to not prevent it. Kind of cliche…but the future is in our hands and that is so much more powerful than so much that this world has to “offer”.
