It seems there is a big push right now to get aboard the “Black Lives Matter” bandwagon – While I believe most of the people that are demonstrating for this are sincere in their beliefs,,, I can’t, in good faith, climb on board !!

I feel that it is as racist as the problems they are protesting against !!!

Now let me clarify what I am saying !! I would feel the same way about a “White Lives Matter ” protest,,, or a “Brown Lives Matter” protest !! Why,,, because they all insinuate that that particular skin color group is the most important group-

As long as we keep being color minded,,, we will never overcome the color problem !!!

What we have to strive for is,,, color blindness,,, just as God does !!! As it says in Acts 10:34-35 [34] “Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism. [35] In every nation he accepts those who fear him and do what is right.”

God shows no favoritism and accepts those {All, Anyone,Everyone} who fear him and do what is right !!!

I believe that the protests should focus on “All Lives Matter” ,,, “Equally” !!!

Now if we can’t buy into this way of thinking and believing,,, then the problem is not the color of the skin,,, but the color of our heart !!!

Jesus will accept all into his house that will accept and believe in him … no color problems with him- He is inviting all of us to enjoy eternity with him !!!!

God Bless Your Day !!!

Lord ,,, please don’t let the worlds’ truth,,, (Deception) ,,, blind me to the Real Truth of your WORD !!!

How much control do we have with or about our life- What can we actually accomplish in the time we have- Well,,,, we can do anything we set our minds too,,,, but we can only do it one day at a time-

I have read somewhere that God gave us life but he gave it to us as packets,,,, each packet is one day- Each morning is a new beginning as we open a new packet that contains all that day has to offer and at the end of the day that packet is gone !!

There is a song that covers all this pretty well- Its called One Day at a Time Sweet Jesus – Here is a part of that song,,,

“One day at a time sweet Jesus, That’s all I’m asking of you, Just give me the strength, To do every day what I have to do, Yesterday’s gone sweet Jesus, And tomorrow may never be mine, Lord, help me today, show me the way, One day at a time “

So what can we control,,,, Today !!! That is what we have to work with- We can’t change anything that happened yesterday (as in actual yesterday) and we have no control over tomorrow until it becomes today and today is lost to yesterday !!

We can dream about tomorrow, hope for tomorrow, plan for tomorrow, pray for tomorrow and wish for tomorrow,,,, but we can’t do anything with tomorrow until it becomes today !!

Looking at it like this,,,, it should become a high priority to start what we want to accomplish,,, Today,,, because we don’t know or have any control over tomorrow,,, today !!! As the truth in the song says,,,, “Yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never to mine ”

With all that is happening all around the world each day,  it is becoming painfully apparent that we have very little control of today becoming tomorrow !!!

So the long and short of all this ??? Well, I would suggest that we quit being a,,, “put it off” “wait until tomorrow” “there will be time later” person !!!!

If you want to tell someone you love them,,, do it today !!!- If you want to write a book,, start it today !!! If you want to run a race,,, start training today !!! If you need to tell someone you are sorry,,, do it today !!! If you need to play with your kids,,, play with them today !!! If you are desiring to find out about or seek Jesus for forgiveness and salvation,,, do it today !!!

We only have today that is a bit in our control- I would guess that most of the people that passed on today,,, didn’t think they would pass on yesterday,,, and the people that may pass on tomorrow,,, don’t think they will today

Make Everyday Count for What You Want to Be or Do,,, ONE (EACH) DAY AT A TIME !!!

God Bless !!!!

 

 

Well, these are hard times,,,, pandemics, loss of work, isolation, health issues,, it is definitely tough right now- Hang in there it will get better !!!!

So do you find yourself alone and by yourself ??? I look at these states of being as two distinctly different issues- From my experience, one is physical in nature and one is mental ??!!

I live in an apartment in a foreign country with not many associates or friends here and don’t have a good mastery of the language- For as long as I have been here I should be fluent in the language,,, but,,, that is a story for a future time,,, but I can give you a clue to why,,, arrogance and laziness !!!

Anyhow back to “Alone” and “By Myself” !!!

I live alone so I have been “By Myself” for most of the last year- So I am “By Myself” but am I “Alone”,,, not at all- “By Myself” in my experience, is a physical state- I am by myself at home or in the woods or in my car most of the time- There are no people close around me !!!

Now “Alone” is a different deal- You can be alone by yourself or in a group of people- Have you ever been with a group of people you didn’t know or relate too very well,,, remember that feeling of aloneness even with a bunch of people around ??? That is a mental state that can haunt you wherever you are and whoever you are with/around !!!

So why am I never feeling “Alone” even when I am “By Myself” ??? It is the infilling of the Holy Spirit that I received when I accepted and asked the Lord Jesus Christ into my life !!! He is always there with me,,, I can talk with him in the middle of the day or middle of the night, in a crowd of people or by myself, driving, setting, flying or working and amazingly he talks back to me,,, not like a conversation we would have but with thoughts, convictions, guidance and the most comforting peace I have ever known !!!

I know it comes from him and works,,, all the time- I have been through Cancer, Below Knee amputation, loss of work, broken hands and fingers and divorce,, in just the last 18 months,,, but through it all, I have had a comforting peace that never leaves me- I am always reassured that,,, it is just the world and you will get through it,,, for sure,,, because he is always there !!!

I can attest, from personal experience, that the things all around me, of the world, tend to start taking a second, lesser important place in my life with his infilling spirit !!!

“Alone”,,, is no longer a dark haunting and empty feeling in my life,,, as long as I stay close to him !!!

In times like these and anytime, for that matter, it is good to have a constant and loving friend walking with you !!! One you can always depend on to be there through thick and thin !!!

Give it a shot,,, It works in all/every situation we may encounter as we go through this life !!!

Accept Jesus into your life and live Free !!!!
