Thank you, Lord, for
allowing me up and moving forward. Even
if I was wakened at 2am because of others in my house.
Reminded it is not my
job to fix or change those who do not wish to let go of the darkness that holds
them back or gives them excuses to whatever.
Lord
You know my heart
best for each and every soul that tugs on those strings. Heal and guide each and every need.
As reminded last weekend
we started a chain of events just getting a cup of coffee going through the
local drive thru. Someone paid it
forward and it rippled through and past me.
If only our world
could be that simple to just one small act of kindness and direction to lift someone
up every day we are given.
You Lord can change
the world. But I know we have to want
it, we have to turn all that is spinning in our heads, our spirits and being
and just learn to rest in you.
That is hard for even
the soul that has their doctrine in everything you were, are and ever will
be. Much less that soul who chooses to
dive into the world and ignore the promise of life with you.
Sometimes I guess it
is easier to just hold onto all we always did or knew than to dare to be
different and accept how much better we are or can be for it.
Rattle these dry
bones Lord. My crazy choices of any day
sometimes are to be questioned. Starting
my day yesterday in a dental chair before barely being awake and wrapping up
with that monthly haircut. While all the
in-between filled up with trying to gain resolutions on how to make something
fit, something work for others that ultimately really should be doing it themselves
as they have the last say anyway when schedules are filled, people are chosen,
help is given.
From the puppy that should
be a service dog that comes up and just wants to calm you and forces her head
and body to hold her still. To the
laughter of those things that really bring joy and laughter. To that which is still a work in progress and
sometimes piles up way too much collateral damage along the way.
None of us really fit
any one mold. The world will stereo type
us, Cast judgement and even damn ups or raise us up and depending on who we are
and what we do. We take it and run with it. Everyone has something that is of value to
contribute. However, we get ahead of
ourselves, or at least I do.
Especially when it comes to believing the best in everyone in any day to
day.
Knowing iron sharpens
iron as do relationships help build us up or absolutely setup us up for self-destruction. I wonder too often the why does it all
matter, or why did it happen.
All the while licking
my wounds for that which I thought was something or someone great before I
realize I too placed people places and things on a pedestal to somewhat be
idolized and leaned on far too much for what the cost of it really turns out to
be.
Be it forgetting that celebrity is human and
makes just as many day-to-day choices that make or break them. Those and especially those that imitate, mock,
and pretend they are something or someone they are not. Those that put everything they are from the
depths of their beings into empty promises or believing that square peg really
can be forced to work in a big abyss round hole.
Many things are so
matter of fact. While even when you
think to long or too much it turns into so much noise and chaos that your very
being is the only one that really cares to continue listening to.
We all bleed red; we
are all the same but different and more importantly. It does not matter who you believe in. We were all given life for so much more than
just walking around with doom, gloom and constant madness or being upset.
Yes, so what someone
else writes or speaks far better than I do.
So, what I have something a little more than someone else. So, what if or what was or what will be!
At which point do we
allow the generosity of the peace and harmony from our ultimate creator to
flood this land and just be our best self and be a shred of kindness and hope.
It is really
unfortunate that I too have lived in the gloom in many portions of my
life. It is sad that I have seen people
take full advantage of humanity. When people
were down and out or even dying. Like
cockroaches when a light is turned on, they come out of nowhere trying to
scatter.
Yes 18 years old and went to look at an efficiency for me and my son to rent back in the day. And the Landlord met me at the place, and we walked in and when they turned the light on bugs everywhere. The problem is, they did not see anything wrong with that. Me I ran. I do not do bugs. Matter fact driving down highway 301 in my teens and a spider fell down in front of me and I almost totaled my car.
The unfortunate thing is when I have seen
people and all the belongs just tossed out into a street. Or someone died and the estate keepers who
were paid well to manage everything never did and everything that soul had left
for people driving by to rummage through and just take.
Growing un in an
inner city and moving back and forth from NY to FL. Well, there has been allot
that these eyes have seen and never fully understood.
Life has a filled
with curious moments and even more that we would wish we did more or never
acknowledged at all. At least my any
way. People using people, adults using
children or just leaving them for the vultures that circle around.
Even those moments when I as a 9-year-old kid would go next to the elderly neighbor’s home and play cards with them. When one day the old man stood up and just dropped in front of me and honestly, I have no idea if he made it then or not.
I could
talk about how in awe I was riding home on a school bus in elementary school in
Florida and a bad car crash up ahead as they were covering up a body cut in
half. Or the surprises of family,
friends, healing from craziness that can take us over at any given time. I wish living in those moments really made
a difference or had full understanding but sometimes it just is what it
is. What I do know is life is what you
allow it to be.
So, no matter who did or didn’t do to
you. In the end you get to choose if
you will walk around shooting hate and getting even. Or just truly treat others with kindness for
no agenda but to just know maybe just maybe.
Your small act may just bring life and allow them to do the same.
No matter how I
wanted to shake a someone most days, to have them think like me and step up in
directions I would have. To have
priorities to set them. To want more
than what they can get from anyone in the world. To know their value.
Well, how can I when
I still get lost in my own lack of significance and dare to place portions of
my life meaning with hopes from those who are only human too.
I can only just keep
clinging to what I believe that fills me with peace and allows me a chance to
breathe more than I do not.
I can only cling to
that which has always been and always will be no matter when nothing or no one else
is. Jesus!
I can only keep my
faith and hope for all I am connected and fight forward to be stronger, more
courageous, hold on tighter and know in the end only kindness and love really
matter. No matter for how long it is
allowed.
We are all here and
allowed to choose and every one of us will pay the price of their choices. Love, Live and be a light wherever you
can. We do not have to agree with anyone
to be kind. And no, just because they
are whatever it may be. Does not mean we
have to be or do what they are. We just
need to be our best good human self with moral values and no agendas but to
love and be a light.
Maybe seeing a
homeless man passed out leaning over last night on a dark sidewalk as I was
driving up the highway and all I could do is reach out and let others
know. Is why it really matters we get
back to loving and respecting humanity?
Yeah, maybe they choose to be where they are, maybe they have a drug
problem. But maybe just maybe one act of
kindness could have made the difference.
May God be with him and all out there like him and anyone stepping in to
assist.
May our hands be used
in prayer and building life up and stop allowing anything that is heavy to
destroy or weigh anyone down including our own beings.
God be with us…
