I had a conversation with another Christian that reminded me of one very important point. Just because I know something doesn't mean everyone knows it, as of yet! Too many times I assume that others know the correct answer(s) or ways things work just because I know about it, to some degree. Because I was again slapped in the face with this plainly obvious point once again, please allow me to ramble on about a few important points. It was a conversation on the following topic that I again made my fatal error in judgement.
So now then... the kids are back in school and summer is fast becoming a memory. Now the nighly news is full of only bad news and large segments of our fellow citizens hurting badly. There always seems to never be enough of the good things and times to go around and only an overabundant amounts of bad things! For an example, it is raining way too much over there, causing major floods and over here we are in a drought! Is it just a matter of perspective? I don't think so but I leave enough room for you to disagree. And now I really hate to mention this part however, the holidays aren't that far off, something like one hundred days or less! Time is a truly an important commodity, especially for those who choose to make their gifts for others! The good news in this is that lately, because of our current economy, and with so many folks seriously hurting, many families are considering donating funds to a major charities in another's name and then presenting that as their Christmas gift. I for one agree and think it is a wonderful gift idea. However, I am not suggesting that all of us Judeo-Christians do the very same gifting idea! All I do know that we all need to be doing is that we need to be praying more frequently for the return of prosperous times, and the return of a low, very low unemployment rate!
I am not one of those Christians that claim that if only our leaders would repent and make lasting changes to various legislation then everyting would be great again! That may be the case and point along with personal re-devotion however, I don't like sounding so very sanctimonious. I firmly believe that I for one, need to be much more concerned with my personal behavior and two, the ways of running my household before I begin pointing the finger at another. We have always had God's blessings as a nation, based on how the majority of folks chose to live and conduct their personal affairs. When we Judeo-Christians change ourselves, our behavior and ways of living, we are in fact changing the over-all attitude and actions of our nation, a little at a time. We need to see that we ourselves and our nation collectively are one in the very same and not separate entities. So rather than me pointing the finger at some large segment of the population, I will be concerned about my personal behavior and the behavior of those in my household. We may even go as far as to suggest that we Christians need to pray more, but I don't really consider that truly finger pointing, do you agree?
All I can truly hope for is God's blessings on me and my family based on how WE value and honor His Word. Another fatal flaw of mine that I must constantly remind myself of, is that just because 'this bad thing' happened to that family over there doesn't mean that it is or even has to happen to mine. So it is the same for all of us. I want to say it this way so that we do have concern and sympathy for others and don't turn a blind eye to them wondering what 'bad thing' they did to God! Bad things do truly happen to good folks without the blessing of our heavenly Father! However, just because He didn't intend for bad to happen, doesn't mean He won't use it to the betterment of another! However, sympathy and predictably are two separate emotions and actions. Because one feels sad for another doesn't mean that they wish to have the very same 'bad thing' happen to them in order to make the others feel better. Even if this were even possible to orchestrate!
So then as I wrap up, I am suggesting that we Christians need to repent more of our wrong doing, and to pray more. God our heavenly Father, and He only considers us His children when we respect His word and honor His wishes, always wants the very best for His children. God has told us to ask for good things in Jesus' name, believing we will receive them, and He then grants only the best for His children. He doesn't want His children hurting and feeling dreadful physically and emotionally! All we Christians must do is to get ourselves and our households in order and then ask for good things from a very loving heavenly Father and then wait patiently!
We as a whole, need to inform other Christians of the way 'things work'. So that they too could benefit from having a loving Father. I as I have said earlier, just assumed, and you know what that spells, that all Christians understood that their heavenly Father wished only for the very best for His children! If every Judeo-Christian, repented and re-worked their families and their behavior to God's wishes, our country as a whole would become blessed again just because we Judeo-Christians are the majority population! So rather then attempt to re-work the large 'whole' just stop and focus on each and every one of the whole for lasting beneficial change.
I am sorry it took me a while to get to the point that was in contention. However, I thought it best to give you the whole parts of the conversation and the over-all point that could prove to be the catalyst of the intended lasting global change starting with one simple family and it's changes.
Now we have a few product offers to help you and yours and so I will wrap up with a few of those for you. Thanks and God bless!
