Only six more days to my flight overseas! There is a steady peace which has come over me now that I am certain of the date and the airplane tickets are in my hand. I seem to think that I really do not deserve this long vacation while so many are struggling to make ends meet. Then I am reminded of a friend's voice who said; "you cannot get poor enough to help all the poor in the world, nor can you get sick enough to heal all the diseased bodies." I must learn to be gracious in receiving as well as in giving. When we aspire to live a righteous life and keep God in front, all the right people show up and the right circumstances accrue. Abundance is a matter of contentment not aquisitions.
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!
