There is much fear going around You can see it on the faces of those about you You can feel it in their body language Anxiety accompanies fear, as often does rudeness It is a time to be civil and loving Churches are closed, but Almighty God is present He is aware of our every move and intention He is the light which will overcome all darkness He is the source of our hope and trust Caring for and thinking of others first is what we should be doing You can never go wrong giving of yourself for others Some, even many, are indifferent toward their fellow man Their vile and crude behavior should not be an example for others If we care, we should forgive the bad actions that take place Greed is never acceptable and often karma rears its head in response We are not looking for revenge however We are all part of the whole of our community There are going to be some suffering for various reasons If we do not attend to those in crisis, who will? What good is being all set if others are not okay? Now is a good time to reflect on how we are living We are basically a judgmental people We seldom get to walk in other’s shoes We are not aware of hardships or stressful conditions We do not know the truth of their code of living Many people are silent givers, helping in many ways They are not seeking glory for what they do What can we do and how can we find out about the needs? First we should follow the advice of the medical teams We may call leaders of various service groups and ask the questions Many of these people know and can give answers We must be patient in waiting until things get better We may pray for those in need, asking God to keep them calm Beyond ourselves there are many people suffering in this world The locusts in several countries in eastern Africa are wiping out crops People in Haiti are suffering from malnutrition and lack of water Refugees from Nigeria are suffering starvation and many deaths daily Thousands of Christians are murdered each year by Islamic terrorists Severe weather has caused flooding and tornado damage Problems exist everywhere, but we shall overcome Help us Almighty Father, we pray Stanski March 15, 2020 ^
