Art Linkletter, an example of the power of the elders to breathe hope into a generation

It’s a world of laughter a world of tears, it’s a world of hopes and a world of fears, There’s so much that we share that its time we’re aware, it’s a small, small world. The elders that diminished the size of the earth for us, Art Linkletter did.
I can see in his eyes that he had a view of giving the earth to the next generation better than it was given to him. He had the eyes of a good conscience.
Pointing to hope, when there was war and hopelessness all around. He pointed to the possibility of growth and participation in the cleaning up of the earth. Thank God that he pointed to kids saying the 'Darnedest'.
He will be missed. But don't let us miss the message of building hope into our instructions.
