Getting The World Right Around You
There once was a man doing some preparation for a presentation for work the next day. While he was in his study his little daughter came asking if he would take time to play with her. His response was “Honey, daddy has to get this presentation together for work tomorrow and don’t have time right now.”
However, the little girl was persistent and kept asking her daddy if he would play. So, he thought, “I need to find something that can keep her busy until I finish here.”
So he looked around the room, saw some magazines, started flipping though pages till a picture of the world caught his eye. He took the page out, tore it to pieces and laid all the pieces on the floor and said. “Honey, daddy will give you a dollar if you can put this world back together again.”
Thinking this will keep her busy for a very long time till he finishes up.
However, to his surprise not long after, his daughter was back in his room asking for her money.
He says, “Oh baby girl, how did you put that world back together so fast?”
She says, “Daddy, I noticed on the other side of the world was a picture of a person and I knew if I could get the Person Right I could get the World Right.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise, so I’m changing myself.
Shalom!
