I received this poem from Glenn Beck in my email today; as I read it, I recalled the following quote from Helen Keller. “I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do.” Our world is so upside down, my friend often reminds me that it is “a mad max world.” Even knowing that our God is ruler, King…and still on the throne, I often feel overwhelmed and helpless. I feel as though I must do something…something to stop this downward slide. Homeschooling is my contribution…but still I must do more. With the power of the Holy Spirit, I can change the world simply by changing myself. May the Lord give us courage this year. Courage to buck the culture and stand for those things that are good and lovely and pure. May we have the courage to continue homeschooling even though our friends have joined hands with the government in order to raise and train their children. May the Lord have mercy upon our America, and our families. May He forgive our sins and heal our land. God Bless you and many blessings this New Year ~Anne
A man decided that he would change the world.
But, he wasn’t successful.
So he decided to change the country.
But, he wasn’t successful.
So he decided to change his community.
But, he wasn’t successful.
So he decided to change his street.
But, be wasn’t successful.
So he decided to change his family.
But, he wasn’t successful.
So he decided to change himself.
AND HE WAS SUCCESSFUL.
AND HIS FAMILY CHANGED AND THEY AFFECTED THEIR STREET.
AND THE PEOPLE ON THE STREET AFFECTED THEIR COMMUNITY.
AND THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY AFFECTED THEIR COUNTRY.
AND THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY AFFECTED THE WORLD.
