There is an eerie silence in my life
and I put it there.
There is an eerie silence in my life
and I put it there. It will take getting
used to. I've pulled the plug on TV
Radio and CD player . I will get all info
from computer and when I'm away
from it ,after I do my chores, business,
etc, I will give more time to meditation.
I'm doing it for several reasons I want
to test my self control. I'm tired of the
junk they are pushing, and the bad
news. I can read it, without having to
see it replayed constantly . I also
believe that if I give more time to seeking
Creator's help for this needy world it
will be of more benefit than the other
junk.
We get caught up in habits. Then we see
a disaster like 9/11 or the tsunami and cry
and moan about how bad things are and
pray for help. Speaking for myself, I can do better than that.
Another reason is I fill in for volunteers
sometimes, when they are short and can't
get anyone. I used to do it 5 days a week
but got burned out. Anyway, I helped a
woman younger than me (shes 48) who
had a stroke and now lives in a nursing
home. I can't tell you how depressing
that was.
It's one thing to take care of seniors in their
eighties and past, but so young a woman.
It really got to me. She isn't bitter either.she
spoke to me about how good the Lord was
to her. Here she was, paralyzed on one side
barely able to speak, or move, and she's
inspiring me.
When I got home I was so thankful to be
out of that smelly place, I cried in both
sorrow and joy. Both dreading and looking
forward to the next time I go.In the meantime
I can spend less time with TV etc and more
in prayer and meditation, for the sorrows in
the world.
