We did not inherit the world from our ancestor; we borrowed it from our children The world of today

is different from what it is before. The world that we live before is full of life as we can see from our atmosphere that the earth is green, we can breathe fresh air, and we can see clear water at the sea. Animals live in their own habitats naturally with no one destroys their home or even take away their freedom. Today, we all know what is happening in the place that we live; there is destruction, calamities, climate change, and pollution. Since the beginning of humanity we all know that we hunt animals for survival but to hunt for fame or kill an animal to know that you are strong then that is wrong, as strong will take care of an injured animals or in great danger for he is able to show kindness to the animal. If we still continue to hunt and kill animal they will be extinct and we can only see them in photos. We cant imagine our child to know the elephants from the photo album. Pollution these are another thing that only us man made, we cannot imagine that our dogs would throw plastics in the rivers, lakes, or seas it is our own fault and we should responsible for what we do. For now we can still see clear water, but in some areas in the world rivers are drying up due to garbage that clogged up the river. We should let our children to have rivers to drink water, lakes full of fish for fishing, and a sea to swim, dive, and surf. Trees, these are useful to nature it gives off oxygen and cleans the air for us to be able to breathe fresh air. But, man cut down trees to make houses, they only knows how to cut but do not know how to plant trees, by cutting it down animals are not only affected but also us humans we should not let our children breathe through mask or to pay for fresh air we should let them enjoy the breeze given by the trees. Destruction in the world can be inevitable but, unless someone who will prevent it from destruction the every one of us can be saved, it should start from us. We all live in this world once then we should take care of it so that our children will have a nice home to live. We did not inherit the world from our ancestors, but we

borrowed it from our children. This world is their home a place where you can live in harmony and at peace. We should not mess up with the Mother Nature because we will regret all the things that we had done. We should stop destructing the world when the last tree cut down or the water dried up, we should prevent it from happening. We only borrowed the world from our children then we should return it to them with a world that is in harmony with no pollution and animals that live with us.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery We imitate our parents to become like them to have an occupation that is the same for them. In our childhood days we always do this for us to grow, imitation is the way for us to learn into this world. Have you ever noticed the role that imitation plays in our lives? Children have sports heroes that they imitate by dressing like them, walking like them, shooting free-throws like them and even knocking the clay from their cleats like them. Some people have music idols that they imitate through dress, dance steps and by singing their songs. Impressionists have become rich by imitating popular singers and celebrities. Imitation is also seen in families. Watch the little boy who walks behind his daddy and tries to put his feet in his fathers footprints. Watch the little girl who gets into her mothers makeup drawer, then puts on her mommys shoes. Children imitate their parents because they want to be like them. Imitation is the highest form of flattery. Imitating God was exactly what the early disciples desired to do. Their actions resulted in them being called Christians for the very first time in Antioch. The term was meant in a derogatory sense, accusing them of imitating Christ and wanting to be like Him.

The disciples desired so much to be like Christ, that people began to refer to them as little Christs. Has anyone ever accused you of trying to be like Christ and imitating Him by your actions? Does your life reflect Christ-likeness? Churches also imitate one another. Find a successful church and you'll find other churches imitating their service times, programming, musical styles, outreach events, advertising campaigns, and even hiring pastors of similar age. Some people are offended by imitation; but Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. When someone wants to be like you, they are paying you a great compliment. People want to be part of what is successful and for those who are not gifted with creativity; it is easy to follow and simply copy ideas from others. When someone replicates your idea or imitates your ministry, it extends your sphere of influence! As you watch people imitate sports heroes, celebrities and personal idols; be reminded that God wants believers to imitate His Son. This is clearly seen in Rom 8:29 (NAS), For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son If imitation is the greatest form of flattery, just imagine how God feels when we imitate His Son!

What you do today can affect your tomorrow Caterpillar, they morph to become a butterfly but before they go into a butterfly they will have to face the nature, it is a big place for him to live but he should not stop on becoming who he is. He has to face their predators that will end his life for him to be able to survive then he should find a place to hide. He will need a place where to eat and stay. As he will hibernate, he

will wait for him to morph into a butterfly. The caterpillar did not stop on becoming what he should be and face all the decision in his life. Decision, we all face this every time in our life, to chose on what to eat, what to wear, what to drink, what to do, and what to take up in college. Albert Einstein will never be a great scientist if he still go on to school, he said that the school only teaches for the exam while he is thirsty for knowledge, he left school at the age of twelve. If he did not today on what he would then we would not have a great scientist like Einstein. Thomas Edison the inventor of light bulb, if he gives up inventing a light bulb then we would not have light in our home. Failure in life is just an obstacle for us to achieve something big in the end, the more patience you are when fishing then you will get the bigger fish in reward. Failure should not stop you when achieving for something, because you will never know that your dream is only one step ahead. We are to choose between two paths, if we have to chosen to move forward then our dreams can be achievable if we move backwards then it is unattainable. Our life has difficulties, if we do not have difficulties in life then we do not have a life, we do not learn. Failure in life help us to learn something that we should understand, test in life is different from the test paper that we take. In school, we are graded if we get high or low in test but in life, there are no wrong answers no one will grade you it is all about what is in you. No one can change your life it is you that will shape your future it all depends in our hands. What we do today will greatly affect our tomorrow we should always think ahead for our future because no one would ever wanted to live in this world full of regrets without doing something. We cannot turn back time and undo the mistake that we had done in the past our time only moves forward not backwards. Always keep in mind that do not give up on something you want to achieve, desire for it and go for it because it is the greatest reward that you can give to yourself.
