The appliances break or quit working, door hinges get busted out of the cabinets, the little ones cry for attention and the family dog is running away with my socks. I am at my daughter's home visiting as the old wise dad who comes once a year or so and hopes to be helpful while enjoying the visit with the grand kids and everyone else in the family. I find myself remebering how tough it was to make sense of all that seem to go wrong just when we don't need another problem. Then I am silenced because I realize my kids have to go through these days of their lives and find their own peace.
I am really trying to keep my usual positive and hopeful attitude towards our humanity and mankind in general, but recent events have brought the old anger back in me which is really frustration and anxiety about Politicians and the money mongers of the world about which I can take no real action of any significance. I see hunger and destitude in the masses of this U.S. of A, the richest country on earth, I see the very weak and the elderly, the homeless and the hard working class suffer while the political will of some nuts is runnning amock! God help me to accept what I can change and that over which I have no control, and please God give me the wisdom to know the difference. It is nothing new, just different land, different time in the history of the ignorant man and the greed of the fools!
