Life, it is such a mystery. Why do things happen, how did this come to pass, why me and so many other questions we ask searching for answers. We all have our interpretation of the answer but there is only one real answer. We may never know why but when we meet God, all things shall be revealed. We need to pray for everyone. Pray for peace and calm during our own personal storms. Not one of us are less than the other.... not one. We see the street corner people or the people doing bad on the news but we are no better. Maybe we are a little more fortunate to not have the world see our afflictions. We are quick to criticize what we can see in others but in the mirror we see ourselves and do we criticize then ? We should because we all hide something in the dark and I tell you God knows it all. We will not escape the truth. Understanding may not be for us at the moment but God knows why & how and will have an answer for us all at our appointed time. Until then I tell you brethren, seek understanding through prayer. Seek peace not only in your life but in the lives of others for you do not know what others go through behind the face but in the heart. Do not judge anyone for you my friend are as guilty as I, he she and they. We are ALL the same. We are all people with problems, worries concerns and lives to live. If only we can lift each other up as we go then we would be strong. I celebrate the life of this young man. A soul, placed in a baby, given to a mom and a dad, cute, crying growing and making adjustments along life's path. Some of us stay and some of us go for the reasons why we may not know but we will take the path of life until it is to end. With the LOVE of others and with blessings from God and the work of his holy angels we might have an easier path. Celebrate the life of this young man. The love he gave and the contributions to others that some of us may never know but we know we love, cherish and adore the time we have together until Gods timeline is revealed. Love one another ! Love yourself enough to love someone else. Even for a moment.... show love... and celebrate the lives of others right wrong or indifferent. We forget we as humans are the most unique creation of all creations living on a rock floating and spinning in space unlike any other.... Seek understanding from our creator. I can not wait to meet you my friend Jake for then we will look back and see how tough it was and tough we made it for one another but now, how perfect it is as we are all together forever surrounded by perfection and the love of God. Jake, please pray for me and my family that we can make it through the toughest times. Pray for and please put in a good word for us for we are still learning and seeking and until we meet... God bless you and please live in our hearts, our minds and in our daily lives. PS.. The smile in the picture here.... please share that and smile down on us day to day to brighten our world as it is in some turmoil. Your friend, David S
