Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow

As the routine starts and the fur babies meow out with me telling them they have to wait till the day light. Funny how we take for granted just how so many understand what we say or do even without words at times.

When you watch others suffering and that one day, they come to you in redemption and fear you will be angry and turn your back on them. While all the while you knew what they were going through or doing but it was their own choice they had to admit and own up and dare to want change for themselves.

We may have every right to hate things that people do that cause major discomfort, even tragedy or slow destruction in their very beings.

But nowhere should we hate any soul for who they are. Yes, we need to maintain our own boundaries and making sure we do not get sucked in. As it is known if we stay too long, we become what we hang with.

However, that does not mean we turn our backs without doing our best to lead the way even when we are not trying.

There is always someone watching and you, me are leading example no matter if we are teaching others good, bad, or indifferent behavior.

It is not our job to demand or force anything on anyone. If you have ever been a parent anyone knows that even if you force a toddler to do something for their own good, it gets chaotic and loud and not always has a successful outcome that intended.

There is a time and place for everything and everyone. Just because we want what we want when we want it does not mean we can have it. And that does not make a difference if we have money and have worked for it ourselves or it is available at our fingertips to take from others.

We are not entitled for anything! Even if this world in today’s society tells us we are.

As I finally let the cats out on the pool deck once the daylight comes, that way I can see if they get out when the dogs run in and out, I have a good chance to save them before they wander in harm’s way.

As I wander around the deck pulling up the little growths of weeds sprouting between the pavers from all the rain that comes in the afternoon. Be it I want it or not they will keep coming until I can afford to have the entire deep cleaned, resealed and made new.

New growth good, bad or indifferent happens minute by minute while we want it to or not.

What we do, how we react and who we enable along the way matters.

It matters to our own well-being if we find ourselves caught up thinking that by doing something for others will make them stick around and be real. Or for that matter, leave when they just stick around because of what you keep doing for them. Which may not be a bad thing, until you see the true side of who their hearts really allow them to be with disrespect and distain in some cases.

So why do I cling to Jesus

Well, I know I have let down many in my journey. And man, so many have broken me to the edge I wanted to be dead.

What we do with the next steps matters.

Jesus has never let me down and when I finally got back up from the world and my own ill-educated choices and made it through to the other side even with lumps, bumps scars or bruising. Well had he not been there I would have never made it here today.

There will always be the joy vampires out there trying to force their way on you and still the joy given deep inside or far more users and takers than givers without a doubt.

However, the freedom of choice and will has been given to each and every one of us as to what we do next. The ability to love someone for who they are and not what they do or what they have.

To help plant the seeds of life and growth no matter how the overcast and over shadowing of the world we live tries to convince us differently.

We are all made in the image of God

We all have ability to read, or hear the truth written from history and intent God sent his son to earth in form of man so we could know humanity was created in love, for love and harmony for. Even if and when the world does not allow it to be.

Waiting on the morning daylight?

The Son will always rise. No matter what the storm, what the issue, what the illness, what the crowd is screaming. Jesus is forever with us if we call upon his name to carry us through.
