I would like to send out a BIG "THANK YOU" for those who are still reading this incredible series, "Words Of Wisdom" by yours truly... ME... I hope it has given you hope and has made you think of your own ways and how you can make a difference, and in many cases you ALREADY are, therefore there is nothing to threat, you are helping the future generations. Regardless if you do not think that the help of one person could possibly make that much of a difference, but you'd be pretty amazed of how JUST "ONE" person can do. Just remember of what I have already told you regarding Mozard, Jesus, Leonardo da Vinci....they were just one person and they made truly the biggest impact you could ever imagince, I am sure and have my hopes set that such a person will rise again and be remembered from our generation...
THE FUTURE...
They is out there somewhere.
I'd say they're right.
It's out there in someone's arms tonight,
being rocked to sleep...
It's out there holding on to a sofa,
struggling to take those first steps...
It's out there sitting in a second grade classroom,
learning how to spell...
It's out there in a Sunday school class,
singing "Jesus loves me this I know..."
It's out tehre leaving home for the first time,
going off to college...
The future is out there being born every day and every night in every city in the world...
Yes, the future is already here... It's just young.
But it won't stay young forever...It grows up alittle more every day. And one day it will take its place in a coming present age and carve out its own place in history.
So, while the future is still with us...WITH YOU...
YOU deicide what to instill in it
YOU decide what it will look like when it grows up.
This is our greatest calling...
Think about the children in YOUR WORLD.
Maybe you tuck them in bed at night.
Maybe they are in your classroom.
Maybe they are on the team you coach
Never forget when you look into their eyes, you are looking into the eyes of THE FUTURE.
You CAN have an impact on the future...by reaching out and loving a child.
So go ahead... change the future.
Dare children to dream...to explore...to try
And when they fall, to get up and go on.
Let them be their uniquely created selves.
Ask them "what if?"
Foster their awesome powers of imagination...
Raise them up in an environment of love and acceptance...
Never miss a chance to say "I love you."
You will be having a direct impact on THE FUTURE.
And I believe someone will think of you and say...
"I am a child
In some ways, have been all my life
WIll be until I'm gone.
At one time in my life you nurtured me and made your mark.
You may have only wiped a tear or sung me to sleep or given me a call or taught me a simple lesson about life.
But the person I'm becoming would never have been complete without YOU.
You may not have known you were doing it.
But I did...
I STILL DO.
Do you think you've not made much of a difference in this world?
You have in mine. Thank you.
I am a child,
One day...
THE FUTURE."
So remember...
Out there somewhere is our next president...
sitting in a fifth grade classroom.
Out thre somewhere is the next great mind like Leonardo da Vinci... wondering how a tricycle works.
Out there is the next musical genius like Mozart...
playing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" on the piano for
the first time.
Out there is our next generation of:
Teachers
Film directors
Newspaper editors
Talk show hosts
Farmers
Police officers
Actors
Lawyers
Statesmen...
And mothers...
(God bless the mothers)
And fathers.
THE FUTURE...
It's in YOUR hands,
in OUR hands.
One day they will grow up and go out into the world to make their mark, make their difference.
And their children will do the same.
Here lies the unbreakable thread that runs from past generations into You...
and down future generations from You.
Change the future...
Build the future...
How?
One moment at a time
One child at a time
With the promise of
LOVE.
