The High Road

Their are many times when we must decide to take the high road. Because while it may be more challenging. It gives us the chance for the greatest reward.

Challenges we don't always see

Everyone has a challenge that they are faced with. Most people never get to see these challenges or their impact on the daily lives that we live. Some do not understand, or worse, refuse to understand what it is like to live with these challenges. They see things on the surface. But it is too much trouble for them to look deeper. Instead they dismiss or in many cases out right attack. These of course are the same people who would rather have all programs cut so that no one gets help. The same people who show an out right lack of total compassion or empathy. I have no ill will to these people. Rather than wasting energy on negative emotions I would rather invest that energy in prayer that their hearts would soften and that they would be shown the profound Mercy that the path of Christ offers.

A few short Bits of Wisdom

Below are a few short FB posts I did during the year. You will find that some of my writing can be very long. Others short and to the point. Please let me know what you think.

**

We must surrender to God, All of our strengths, all of our weaknesses. All of our anxiety and all of our fear. Praying for our friends and family who stand by us. Praying for our enemies who seek to do us harm. We must thank God in our good times. We should seek God in the bad times. For at the times when we feel our weakest. God provides us an inner strength we never knew we had.

**

As we face our greatest challenges. We must surrender them to God. No matter how difficult doing so might be.

**

I find that when I allow Christ to be the driving force in my life. That all things become possible.

**

Their are times when faith really does become important. Times when going alone is the worse thing that you can do. Even when it seems that all hope is lost. Yet God stands with us ready to help us face our greatest challenges.

**

When their is nothing but darkness from the world around us. We are reminded that Christ is our light.

Bits of Wisdom: Challenges

We are often faced with challenges that can either become lessons that we learn from. Or they become struggles that seek to destroy us with negativity and doubt. I have found more often than not that just by surrendering these challenges to God we can find an inner peace that allows us to over come them. The road in this life is not meant to be an easy one. But rather a road that we can learn. Giving into the negativity can only reward us with pain and sorrow. Surrendering to God in my opinion does not mean that things will get better. but it will give us the inner strength that we did not even know we had. Gives us wisdom to figure out the best path to go. Even when when the road seems most hazardous.

Bits of Wisdom: Storms

All stuff posted is my own work. Unless otherwise noted.

Storms are a constant element in this life of ours. Sometimes we can drive though them with out worry. Other times we must find a spot to pull over to ride things out. It is not that we don't care about what is going on. But rather it gives us a chance to see a better path to follow so we can get our lives back on track.
