Between local, state, national, and international events, I often go to bed at night and wonder and worry about what the next day will bring. Even though I know that living my best in the moment I currently have is the only way to go on, sad and apprehensive thoughts do push against possessing a total peace of heart right now.
We need good, strong leaders but, being in severe lack of that right now, we have to redouble our prayers. I can't imagine God looks down too favorably on our world at large. We live in a self-serving world.
Hindsight could be a great history lesson but we often just shake our heads at the stupidity of past actions and go out and do it all over and worse the next time! The last presidential election showed up in large numbers that people will buy promised feelings before they will believe hard, cold fact. It is sort of like a world wallowing in sinking sand while the politician throw us boulders to keep us afloat.
Meanwhile, we just have to go on like there will be a tomorrow. We have to pray that it will bring promise. We have to continue praying to God.
Kind of a depressing way to come upon a Monday but the last few months have been like an ongoing, badly written soap opera that we are all forced to participate in whether we like it or not!
I guess I will just keep on going, quilting, raising my children, praying . . . Praying very hard that the greed of the world doesn't overtake the world.
