Excellent thought
This is from www.TheHappyGuy.com. I get his email every day with an inspiration quote or a nice little insight. Today's was especially great.
FUTURE
"What is the value of the future to our well-being?
The future is the repository of everything we do. All our good acts. All our bad acts. All our mistakes. All our triumphs.
In the near future, we and those we are close to will reap the rewards of whatever seeds we sow today. Those "rewards" might include heavy fines or even jail. They might include windfalls of money or lasting friendships. They might include awards or shelter in a storm or a safe haven from a war.
In the farther future, the children of our children and of those we love will benefit from a hospitable climate or suffer from an inhospitable climate. From a world without war or a world without peace. From a world of technological wonder or a world of social decay.
What we do today -- the big things, the little things, the things we think don't matter -- is vital to the future. In fact, the future is God's way of saying that what you do matters."
Our actions have a ripple effect through time in the lives of the people close to us. They will be either ripples of love or ripples of despair.
In the words of the Knight in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Choose wisely.

Good post Dale. I often wonder what kind of world my kids will face as an adult...what will it be like for my grandkids? It's easy to forget how much of an impact we can have, even when we are gone.
Good points from both of you. It's easy to think we are just one, one that can't make such a big difference. But if each one tried, if each one worked with the One who can cause us to do all....I can't imagine.
