Life Goes On ….
Guess what I am NOT going to write about? While the country was polarized with the matters at hand, aka, the election, believe it or not, life went on.
People were diagnosed with cancer, others lost their jobs, struggled to eat, lost loved ones, and the war with Covid raged on. I was not glued to the TV because I chose not to let it interfere with my desire for peace of mind and a decent night’s sleep. Daily life is already difficult enough, and bottom line, no matter what, life goes on.
On Monday, I will hopefully go to work and help some 5th graders learn. I will be kind to whoever needs a little love, no matter their political affiliation. The world will keep rotating; the sun will rise and then set. I will continue to pray for all humans and the world to be a better place. I will be the same person I was yesterday and strive to be better every day because that’s what is important to me.
For there to be real change, hearts and minds need to grow. The only person you can control is yourself.
Do you want to know what I vote for?
I vote for love.
I vote for humanity.
I vote for a cure for cancer, and all diseases.
I vote for everyone to have a roof over their head.
I vote for people to eat.
I vote for peace.
I vote for equality.
I vote for kindness.
Seriously folks, Is there anyone out there who doesn’t want those things?
You see, when it comes to what is truly important, I believe most people can agree. Maybe we can start there and make this country better together with the basic elements of respect for all humans.
Life goes on …
It’s Sunday … the sun is beaming in the window by my desk, and the trees are still hanging on to their leaves. They are a beautiful yellow with a hint of reddish-orange. I don’t imagine they will be here long because the Fall has already been longer and more spectacular than usual. But I know that today I will enjoy them whether it is with a hike or simply sitting outside catching up on some reading.
Life will go on, and I will count my blessings. Three of them (my grandbabies) are coming to visit this morning – I can’t believe I haven’t seen them in two weeks!
I will kiss their little cheeks, listen to them tell me stories, enjoy their innocence of thought, and revel in their love of the simple things.
Life goes on … enjoy the moments.
Wishing you all love, peace, and good health,
Sandy
Yes! I keep trying to tell my mom this…life keeps moving for everyone. You can’t get hung up on the state of the world and stop your own life from moving forward. Keep moving or you’ll get run over.
Exactly! My husband always says, “I still have to get up and go to work in the morning.” Just keep moving. xo
Yes! Very well said! No matter what happens, life still goes on.
All we can do is keep moving! Thank you, Michelle. xo
Yesterday our pastor shared what God put on his heart about all this mess. “Keep Your Eyes On Jesus”. The familiar story of Peter walking on water…as long as he kept his eyes on Jesus. The storm is going to rage. We are living on a flawed earth, and until He comes back to take us to paradise, this is just life. Some days worse than others, some super wonderful, it will vary. BUT as a believer, I take comfort in knowing the God of the sea is right here with us in the storm ready to hold our hand and keep us afloat. I look forward to the perfection of heaven, but until then, I walk with Jesus and trust Him with it all. I have to. It is SO hard when the things that are happening do not seem to come from or through a loving God. But He is God (all knowing) and I am not. There are parts of this puzzle I don’t see, but He does and He is pulling it all together. There is no hope aside from Jesus, so I will trust Him.
I am with you! Albeit, I am not nearly as learned as you are, but I believe wholeheartedly that God has our back and knows what he is doing. As you said, I have to or what would my confidence level be right now? I would be in fear, but I am not. It’s pretty amazing now that I think about it. Reading your comment made me realize the level of my confidence in God. Love you and thanks for commenting! xoxo
Hear, hear! Very well said!!
Thank you, Kristian! xo
