Before the young man began his studies, he wanted assurance from the Master. "Can you teach me the goal of human life?" "I cannot," replied the Master. "Or at least its meaning?" "I cannot." "Can you indicate to me the nature of death and of life beyond the grave?" "I cannot." The young man walked away in scorn. The disciples were dismayed that their Master had been shown up in a poor light. Said the Master soothingly, "Of what is it to comprehend life's nature and life's meaning if you have never tasted it? I'd rather you ate your pudding than speculated on it." 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." Food For Thought:"After you've done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully. After five years, look at it with suspicion. And after ten years, throw it away and start all over. " Alfred Edward Perlman "All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another." Anatole France "Growth is the only evidence of life." John Henry Newman "If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies." Author Unknown "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."

My grandmother lived a very full life, and was full of energy, love, and wisdom. She always said the right thing for the situation. And, whenever we had a problem, we knew we could talk with Grandma. As a teenager, I can remember many conversations where Grandmother would give us her worldly wisdom and she would always end up saying you have an angel smiling on you dear I know you will do the right thing. Now, here we were at her funeral, and I could almost hear her saying, the angels are smiling on us. Now, I really knew I had an angel smiling on me as I am sure Grandma was in heaven smiling down and watching out for us. I offered to help my Mum sort through Grandma's apartment. The next few days were filled with memories, and filled with laughter, and filled with tears. As we sorted through Grandma's stuff, it brought back some wonderful memories. I was packing the last of the dishes when my mum called to me. I went into Grandma's bedroom, and my mum handed me a package with my name written on it. I opened the box and read the poem: May this little Angel shine upon your homeFilling your days with cheer Know that She stands on guard for you To help you smile all year. And Grandma had handwritten, "hang this stained glass angel in your window to remind you of your angel Kate! Love Grandma" To this day, I have the stained glass angel hanging in my bedroom window. And, every time I look at it I can hear Grandma saying: "You have an angel smiling on you dear, I know you will do the right thing." |
