... and the world knew they were there.
I was persuaded to start this blog by a well-known and beloved Children's book, in which success was not achieved by one protagonist, or even several, but by every individual doing his and her part. Not until the very last and smallest person contributed his voice was the sound barrier breached and the truth heard by all in the world above. One of several profound lessons to be learned from "Horton Hears a Who"; not only does every voice count - every voice is needed.
There are so many important and prominent figures who currently provide countless conservative insights via books, publications, blogs, speaking, etc. I hesitate to say anything at all, because, frankly, it's all been said, is all being said- and that much better than I ever could.
Yet, we all have a voice for a reason. The truth is, no matter how many speak up, our individual thoughts and opinions are equally important to our Creator; and funny thing, He seems to make it work out that it takes every one of us doing our part; seeking the truth and standing up for it when we find it.
"This," cried the Mayor, "is your town's darkest hour!
The time for all Whos who have blood that is red
To come to the aid of their country!" he said.
"We've GOT to make noises in greater amounts!
So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!"
The lad cleared his throat and he shouted out, "YOPP!"
And that Yopp...
That one small, extra Yopp put it over!
Finally, at last!... Their voices were heard! They rang out clear and clean.
And the elephant smiled. "Do you see what I mean?"...
They've proved that they ARE persons, no matter how small.
And their whole world was saved by the Smallest of All!"
For of course, "A person's a person, no matter how small."
This is my reasoning, my belief, and now I'm ready to act on it. Thanks for reading. :-)
