trudging along where the cheer gone? walking round the mall around noon.
you can see sale sign so bright telling you the best deal ever.
yet there nothing on the shelf, you can go ask a store associate but all you get
it I just started last week from now, oh wow rain checks are onto allowed.
Internet the final frontier the is the voyage are cyber customers on cyber Monday
it the great vast of amazon, and e bay and other galaxies to come. Explore many new
websites to boldly search where no one else as had a chance to google or Bing...
Obnoxious oh yes, with out a doubt. Please don't get it wrong I love technology and what
it has given us. But I think about a song that awesome 80's group wrote and escalated among
the airways. Personal Jesus. If you look up the lyrics it see a part of the future. We
have out bible on our Ipad, Mini Ipad, I phone, Nook, Microsoft tablet... There's nothing
wrong with that of course its the fear of the "Jesus App" I mean seriously..
I remember I use to look through my mom's magazine, Family Circle. I used to see
so many crafts and things to make home made. They look fun and some were
that I had tried. What happen to giving I mean giving your hands to create your
mind to design and your smile to give even on a paper photo. Now it has resulted to Skype
or Facetime. Or something made in china that looks like it was made by hand, but
not by you. Its OK to keep the local market or bakery in business but your oven
is a bit cold isn't it.
The point that giving to one another during the time that we recognize that Jesus Christ
was born, is mainly about sharing each others company, conversation, Good thought
and memories of great times spent. And a trinket or two of something to remember the
season. Its OK to treat yourself but at times I see more greed and selfishness from many
people around me.
To battle over a doll or a get upset because that 50 inch wide screen isn't there when you
wanted it after you crawled out of bed around ten in the morning. And to wait in line at midnight
for the door buster deals and drain the credit cards yet in truth it will take up to 5 years
to pay off the card and you spend more in charges the the cost of the merchandise.
Hold on I am not bah humbug buying its the unfortunate greed that fills our mind
that I am addressing. It a celebrating not a competition among family and friends.
Oh and lets not leave out the anger and rage for a parking space or travel on the freeway.
I have not leg to stand on on this either so chill your self. Have to get to grand parents
or the parents house, and even get into the mall or retail outlet. You drive slowly and look
for a place to park and right when you see it only 5 cars away another guy pulls in form the
street and parks. Wow feel that heat and see the gasket blow. You rage loudly, but like my
family would say they can't hear you!
And let not forget the most important the less fortunate, disabled, elderly and the forgotten. Oh a sore
subject for many, how dare me pull out that subject. Hell yes! Now understand we are all
in a crisis of economy. But lets look at it without the rose colored glasses. The less fortunate are
the ones who are not even cutting by. No job have kids and go the the rummage or soup kitchen.
You can give a little but mostly a smile is better then anyone can give and a prayer of hope.
The disabled this means not only the mentally challenged, but those who have lost limbs and
sickness has taken its toll. Our soldiers that have served from past to present that can not
function regularly. And not just around us but in our own families we need to give them
a sense of worth and encouragement. Lend a had when you can and don't make them feel
like you have to do it should be you want to help.
The elderly, we will all be there someday and the way you treat your children and family is
the way you may be treated... no That is not a good way to think. We will all be there and we
should always respect and care for our Mom's and Dad's uncles, aunts, and other elders you
may associate with. When it come time that they can't we must step up so they can, remember
you would be able to do what you do if it wasn't for someone to teach you. Its time to return
the favor and give a helping hand even when they don't want it. Explain that it my pleasure
to do so and reminisce about what was done for you by them. It will mean a great deal to
them.
The forgotten.. People in nursing homes and alone at home. Not all are old either for many
are ones who have lost their partners, or are so extremely disable that they are taken care
of by caregivers. Well some of those caregiver really don't care. Not the kind of caring that
comes from family and friends. I you know anyone like that give them a call. Bring them
cheer, bring them dinner or lunch. Just spend time with them, invite them out with your family
or group. No one deserve to be forgotten. Oh I almost forgot for some its not wrong to
visit a cemetery, even though the spirit has past some still believe that a cemetery is
a porthole to the heavens. Its OK to believe don't let anyone knock it. Gather together
family or friends bring a chair and some flowers to make the area look nice and sit and chat
about the good time of the person that has pass on to their new life.
OK now I feel your heat on the back of my neck so to speak. Who am I to write these words and
a dress these subjects? I can can hear the echo's of you are no better or you have done it too.
When boys and girls let give the reality, I have done some of those things but.... NOW! to day
at this hour I write I admit I am no better but I am working on being the better. Follow me
I have laid down some bread crumbs you can follow. I have been bah humbug for may years
when God that father called my Mom home. I became someone that my mother didn't teach.
It took many years to realize I as wrong. Yes I admit I was wrong!
Now I have a journey to Jesus and God our Holy father. No I am not preaching or selling
you to a religious congregation like baptist or catholic or New born Christian. I am and have been
a Christian. But you don't have to be a Christian to do these things Jewish and Non religious
people can follow the bread crumbs too. Its about brotherhood and sisterhood. Its about fellow
man and woman. Not about color or style, not about ethnics or countries. Its about being human.
and living among one another in one world...
In complete darkness we are all the same.
It is only our knowledge and wisdom that separate us.
