Finding Joy in the Little Things
Dear Future, Once upon a time there was a life where the simple things took precedent over the complicated things. This kind of life was valued by many people, and for most, cherished. It kept them from falling away into despair, and it kept them connected to their roots and created bonds that lasted lifetimes. As the world turned away from each other, the simple things seemed to vanish alongside the turning. We forgot what it is like to just smell the fresh air, feel the dew on the grass, raindrops falling from the sky, the touch of another’s hand or the hug given to another out of friendship. We have forgotten a lot of the simple things, and became overrun with the fear of others, the fear of invisible things, the fear of fear itself. Fear leads to many things that are costly, and the price has been our sanity. The price has been the soul of a people lost to themselves. The cost of the new world is less humanity. More selfishness, more greed, more laziness, more gluttony, and more of the dark elements have risen. The voice of reason, the voice of unity, the voice of peace, the voice of truth has been lost to the wayward goals of the unconnected. We have lost the value in working together to achieve remarkable things, of taking pride in allowing ourselves to be us without fear. The internal qualities we grew up with have altered as society has lost its sense of truth and justice to demands and threats. In a world where terror ruled, the person became the target of the higher government officials all in the name of ‘national security.’ This led to direct mandates by the government onto a people whose constitution gave them the right to overthrow the government as needed. The rebels inside America have lost their senses as they no longer are educated about the truth. People are educated to make themselves feel better and to believe they are the best. Reality is that education has fallen, and the bar keeps falling as if that will make it better. If we took the truth of education seriously, none of this would be happening. But a child, limited in their education, is easily controlled by their emotions as they are not going to reason out the end. This is the sham that a politically controlled education system does.

When you ask for change, be prepared to get it.
After recently being in a rear-end hit and run collision, I have found myself looking very cautiously at what I ask for. Sometimes, a miracle requires a major change. Gratitude for being alive. Gratitude for being only minorly injured. Gratitude to have such great insurance. Gratitude that God provides all things. Situations may seem dim, but in the truth of it all there is a beacon of hope and light that you have to look for. You have to focus on the good, and wave goodbye to the bad. I have been praying and have had prayers consistently said for me. God is showing up in all the small ways.
