I haven’t been writing much lately. I have plenty of thoughts and emotions. The words in my mind are often full of sorrow, anger, and frustration. Mostly, I just can’t understand why humans can’t treat each other with kindness.
Respect.
Compassion.
It shouldn’t be difficult to treat fellow humans with grace.
Except for the mean people. I don’t have much patience for mean people regardless of their creed, color, or career choice.
But our Heavenly Father does. Thanks be to God. Because sometimes the things I say or do are mean as well.
Lately, I have been attempting to put my own emotions aside, as best I can. I am reading. I am watching. I am listening. I am learning.
What I am Reading, Listening To, Learning From

Dear Heavenly Father, Sometimes we have no words for the thoughts and emotions swirling through our minds. I thank you that the Holy Spirit is interceding with wordless groans on our behalf. Please heal our land. Help us to find the love, peace, joy, and unity that comes only through an abundant life in You. Amen.
