Wow, we have been through the wringer haven't we. New rules, new ideals, new ways of looking at things.
One thing I really don't understand is why there is so much fear promotion. Why do we have to be bombarded with fear rhetoric 24/7. Since when is it necessary to change the way people think through threat and destruction.
I think it's time to look to faith, in a very strong and steadfast way. We all don't believe the same things, and that is okay. If you research many different faiths, one thing they all have in common is to love. Love yourself, love your neighbor, and on and on.
Christ's main directive is to love other's as you love yourself. Now is a great time to look at that simple statement. If you find yourself short with others, or unnecessarily unkind, it might be a good time to review how you feel about yourself. Just as it's important to forgive others, it is time to forgive yourself for past wrongs. Love yourself. Sounds weird but look in the mirror and say the simple words "I love you". Is it hard to do? Did you laugh? Did you see a flaw? Or did you smile that knowing smile you have for other's when you say those 3 simple words.
We are all going through a lot right now. EVERYONE is fighting a battle of some kind. Being more understanding these days will go a long way to setting the balance right again. Take your time, open doors, smile, help when you can, be understanding when you can't.
Keep true to your faith. It's Faith First, Then Me, Then You. What a great foundation.
I hope you are finding peace during this time.
Here's to LOVE! <3
