We are living in a period which all too readily scraps the old for the new…As a nation, we are in danger of forgetting that the new is not true because it is novel, and that the old is not false because it is ancient. – Joseph Kennedy

I liked this quote this morning partly because it came from Joseph Kennedy. This means that when he was talking about “new” he wasn’t talking about the newest iPhone or technogagdget.

The temptation to forget our previous lessons and act as if everything has changed is an ancient one itself.

We are bombarded each day with the newest of everything. And there is a lot of positive that can come with the newer version of something and embracing the change that is inherent in all our lives.

But there is also value in that which has stood the test of time.

Truth will hold up forever.

Love will always be.

Faith will lead us forward always.

As you go about your modern life, make sure to mix in some of the old.

Read a book published before 1900.

Wear your grandparents old jewelry.

Make it a great day.
