Perspective on change


This is probably old stuff for many of you, but I haven’t seen this for many, many years. Isn’t it interesting that the Lord dropped this into my path just today after I had written about trying to make changes in Europe? God is good!

"When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world." Author unknown
