Take it Back

Sometimes we need to stop and think about how far we have come and take a look back. Take it back to the days when our grandmothers and grandfathers knew what it was to truly struggle. The days when they had to walk miles for water and carry huge jugs back through an old dusty trail. The days when they had to learn to appreciate the value of a penny or a nickel. The days when shoes were worn until the soles fell off. The days when looking out for our brothers and sisters existed. The days when unity meant something. The days when they trusted their brothers and sisters. The days when knowing that times were hard, but had no desire to go out and kill and destroy each other, but lean on the understanding of God and trusting he would provide. Those were the days when respect existed. Today we have no respect for one another. We have no idea how to rub a penny and nickel together. We don't know what it's like to walk miles and miles for a necessity. We ultimately don't know how to appreciate anything. Our generation has missed the mark greatly. It's time that we look back and see how far we have really come. Never forget where you come from and always embrace it. We have grown accustomed to the “good life” and have no idea what it took to get to this point. Compared to back then we have it made, but still don't appreciate anything. It's time to take it back, wayyyyy back!
