“Change” is a word I don’t always appreciate. We only lived 600 feet from the school yard; therefore, I never had to take a bus to school. Every day, even on Sundays, the noise of children playing something on school grounds could be heard from our house. Now it is no longer a school and it is rare to see a child near it. There are no more ball games, monkey bars, swing sets, or words being said before a fight. (Yes, I grew up in an Irish community.) It’s all a part of history and will never be repeated on that spot.
My generation just moved on because that is the way of all the earth. Joshua made that statement,
“Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth”.
We are to appreciate what is behind us and allow it to propel us forward, not to be a drag.
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Always be moving on to greater things.
Give it some thought.
