Another year coming to an end

Those in charge have been successful

I do not agree with their goals

But they drifted us into inflation

Applied critical race theory

In schools and work places

Mandated vaccines and masks

Released criminals without bail

Watched looting with no arrests

Opened the southern border

Counted 100,000 fentanyl deaths

Ignored the Biden-China connection

Stopped drilling for gas and oil

Slowed coal mining

Tried to establish climate change

Pushed for green energy with

No infrastructure to support it

Caused deaths in Afghanistan

Left billions in weapons behind

As well as many helpful people

Gave up our status as the world power

Became a laughing stock to world leaders

Doubled down on our faith in the United Nations

Attempted to find the root cause of migration

Another year coming to an end

There has been buyer remorse

Many of the brethren are dismayed

Did not realize how bad things could turn

Many listened to the indoctrination they

Received on the news Medias

Many failed in the area of critical thinking

They see spending out of control

Payment to individuals for not working

A proposal to give $450,000.00 to

Each individual arriving here illegally

We need to improve, but that is not going to happen

The government wants to control

They want socialism with rules for everyone

They are working for the demise of our country

We have another year to go

Then analyze and make good decisions

With God’s grace, we will make it

Beautiful beginnings of a new day,

New week, and a new month.

We are blessed to be in this country.

We have much to do for others.

It is easy to forget when we are

Wrapped up in ourselves.

I ask my Father, Shepherd-Brother

And the Holy Spirit to be with us

As we move through this month. 

Thy will be done.

Give us strength, and endurance.

And what we do accomplish —

May it be pleasing to everyone involved.

Amen.

Last day of this month

The month of thanksgiving

We have much to be thankful for

But mostly we just hear chatter

About almost irrelevant things

Noise about nothing

I think of respect and the lack of it

I offer up my arrogance

As evidence of sinful ways

I ask for forgiveness and seek joy

I am thankful that I managed

To get my work finished or nearly so

Jesus loves us all, even the sinners

He has forgiven all sins and looks for goodness

He knows all things

He gave us a free will

We are wise when we think before acting

Amen

Isn’t it just like us?

Thinking that we are the ones

And have it all over the others

The ones who came before

Ones who saw the raw land

Claimed it legally and developed

It slowly, but surely, into the

Dreams that remain of it today

In remote areas that were

Once vibrant and alive

Churches and schools

General stores and saloons

Farmers and their wives and

Many children, some of whom

Died way too early of diseases

Which we now have under control

They were miles from nowhere

But proceeded with their lives

Suffering many hardships; still

Went on as this was the way

Then, over time, other

Communities developed

Closer to the railroads, with

Access to more goods and services

Attracting the pioneers to vacate

And move to where life had

Much more to offer and in a

Similar way life progressed to

Where we have private jet planes,

Arrogance and egos that constantly

Need feeding and people in control

Who think we are racists and bath

Ourselves in the waters of supremacy

It is just like us to forget all the

Hard work and efforts of all the

Settlers and how they worked together

To unite and build community

We, who cannot take two steps

Without checking our I-phones

Think we have what it takes

Maybe we do materially, but

I think we may fall short spiritually

“The greatest blessings of mankind

are within us and within our reach.

A wise man is content with his lot,

whatever it may be,

without wishing for what he has not”

Unknow author

presented by Stanski

“Happiness is like a butterfly;

the more you chase it,

the more it will elude you, but

if you turn your attention

to other things, it will come

and sit softly on your shoulder”

HENRY DAVID THOREAU

Presented by Stanski

Time is marching

It is my turn

Stick around my friend

See what you can learn

I had to study and

Honored what was taught

It carried me a long way

Much further than I thought

The good ones are tired out

Old ones are saying they are through

I’m all you have left

What are you going to do?

Listen carefully to my words

Take them in and contemplate

Do you see the truth and logic?

Manifestation is not easy to sate

Astute and interested parties

Must be the new teachers

If we do not perpetuate the news

Then we are lost and not preachers

A disservice to those who

Sought the path and the way

But never had the opportunity to hear

The Teacher’s word, but just the fray

A large responsibility for those

Who choose to step up and endeavor

A short term effort when thinking

That eternity is not a game, but forever

My Meditation for November 29, 2021

Many people were killed according to

The Book of Kings in the Bible.

False gods gave them false hope, but

Good people presented their problems

To God and He instructed His angels

To reign in the armies of the false worshipers.

It is best to find the narrow opening and

Difficult path when the outcome is

In the equation.  Amen.

The gift of life is a miracle

Such a precious thing

For it to be wasted for any reason

Is without doubt, a shame

How often do we diminish and why

What could have been?

We lay the answer at the foot of

One of the Seven Deadly Sins

We show our weakness

No miracle in wasting the gift

Nothing precious to be savored

Or looked upon with pride

The difficult ways can prepare us for failure

We learn recovery and continuance

We’re strengthened and acquainted with determination

Out spirit is filled and the cup overflows

Easy paths cannot keep pace

There is no strengthening

No decisions to make leaving us empty

Smiles are replaced by disappointment

Anger and frustration become our guides

Roads chosen are dark, dank, and distant

We trade our light for the fool’s gold

We sell the gift of life to the highest bidder

We find our self alone without a clue

Nothing left, except perhaps

To pray the prayer of a fool

MY MEDITATION FOR SUNDAY, November 28, 2021

Glory to God, and

Also, those who worship Him,

Each in their own way,

There are many judges,

But we must be our own judge.

Our spirituality is valid as long

As we are true to our beliefs.

Man’s rules are not always God’s rules.

Don’t choose impressing man

Over obeying and serving the Master.

Amen.
