I’ve been gone from my blog for sometime now due to illness in the family which has claimed my time and energy for more than several years. Nothing has changed much except now my better-half has terminal cancer undergoing treatment, my loyal, devoted furkid has not much more time either and I don’t know what my future will bring my way, everyday. What has changed greatly is my reliance on the Lord for strength, greater faith and irrepressible hope. I’m praying for a miracle.
And I’m praying that my country finds the will to turn itself around and become better, civility-minded individuals who can help the whole of our existence in these troubled times. Everywhere we look, there is hurt, sorrow, destruction and hopelessness. Everywhere I look, I see good people dealing with Life’s unexpected adversities. I see frightened people who are living without the basic needs for survival. I ‘see’ unlimited peoples of goodwill looking for outstretched hands in need. Remember, there will always be good people doing good for other people. Be one of them.
I see people dismayed by the civil unrest we are experiencing around the world and now – right here at home. We can surmise some of this civil unrest is due to people feeling a lack of satisfaction by the very people who, by definition, are meant to represent us and our vision of how we wish to live our lives! Our right to be left alone. Who might these people be? Those in public service, corporate heads, and industry who do not have our best interests in mind.
When we’re frustrated by unmet promises made by our pubic servants, we take it out on others. Unfortunately, it might be our own loved ones, neighbors, teachers, grocery store clerk, or our employers or workmates. This situation makes for argumentative and confrontational discourse among peoples who would otherwise, under peaceful and secure circumstances, treat each other with respect and civil decency.
Our culture is under attack. We are forced to tolerate the intolerable, accept the unacceptable and ‘love’ those who are despicable. All without taking into consideration the differences between peoples in their likes and dislikes. To disagree is to be human. For everyone to agree on everything and be just like everyone else is to be robot. Talk about stressors. And why not throw in political-correctness to boot!
We all need to take some deep breaths.
I’ll go first. *smile*
Take care of each other. Show kindness. Give thanks in every thing.
