Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's because my eyes have grown dim and my perception has been dulled over the years, but I fail to see and be inspired by great and illustrious leaders.
Maybe I am expecting just a little too much, or maybe they don’t get the attention they deserve and so I miss being uplifted by what they have to say.
It’s easier to look back in time and see awesome people and read their words. But I wonder what future generations will say of us. Who will they look back to for wisdom and perception? Whose words will they read and pass on to others?
The trick is, I suspect, that the heroes of yesterday would not have thought of themselves as anything special. They were just everyday common people, getting on with their daily life and going about their humdrum business.
So what if… we are the heroes of 2022? What if the words you write and the phrases you speak will in time be gazed upon with wonder and awe? Is it not possible that folk will look back at us in 30 or 50 or 100 years and say such things like….
“Wow, look at the terrible times they lived in. Look at how ghastly it all was and look at how they just got up each morning and carried on and got with it. Look at the random acts of kindness and the way people really did want to stay in touch. Check out the inventive fun things they did to distract themselves from the morbid climate of the pandemic.
What strength of character. What resilience, what stamina!
What if we are in the midst of this because Himself knew that we are the heroes we have been waiting for? --
