Our senses are overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of our
ever evolving world. Never a dull moment and it’s very easy to get caught in
the draft and gone with the wind. So much is happening all at once that the
important things seem fleeting and we are soon to find that we are drifting
away all alone from what is significant.
Life as we know it has been altered forever? A question we
ask in the hush of our minds and spirit. Our bewilderment sometimes gives our
question a voice. ”What happened to the simple things?” The little things that
once made our lives worth living and gave our lives meaning have been
consciously swapped with hassle and stress, hurt and disappointment, a great emptiness,
a hollow we try to fill.
Do we care anymore? Do our emotions run deep or hover? Are
we slowly becoming numb to the pain of others? Have we pierced ourselves
through with sorrow trying to become citizens of the land of self-sufficiency;
persistently driven to quench a hunger that is ravenous? Do we regret when a
loved one dies for having not been there or do we bask in the memories we had and
treasure them in our heart?
In
our voyage through life, we cannot resign from being our brother’s keeper; we
cannot lose respect for the red in our veins or the beating heart. We owe to the
younger a tale of our experiences so they are not trapped by the weights that
so easily beset us. We need a new view; to cherish
every moment life gives us and to love and be there for the ones we love as
much as we can now that we have the time. Let go of offenses against you and forgive:
Love is forgiveness breathing. Catch yourself before you fall, it’s so easy to
feel like “I’m all that”. Conquer pride and let humility, we don’t always have to
prove a point
Technology brings us so close together yet we are so far
apart, Business builds bridges yet we are still stranded. Education opens our
minds but we are blind to reality. In the end it boils down to you and me who
are we going to be?
When all is said and done, did we make a difference, did our
lives count for anything? We can support a dream no matter how little, help
someone take a load off and find peace with our words, did we say “I am sorry”,
“I love You”, “I am here for you”, ”I have faith in You”. The little things;
our words of kindness, a little prayer, being a point of light, a simple hug ,
a listening ear, a phone call, a hand out, a compliment, a shoulder to lean on
are the things that make the world go round. Lives demands can be consuming but
we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard than what is obtainable. We are
Gods hands to meet People’s needs. Let the God in You be seen.
Always Remember, we are sparks,” we rise by lifting others “– Robert Ingersoll. “we can’t help everyone, but everyone can
help someone”- Ronald Reagan
