In case you have not noticed, our world has gone completely mad. A bus driver was killed and a young child is being held hostage in a bunker in Alabama as I type this blog. These are the things you see in movies, not in our area. It is almost enough to make you want to keep your kids inside and never let them out of sight.
Yes. Our world is going crazy. But there is still a lot of good left. God is still in the business of performing miracles. Beautiful flowers are still blooming all around us. People still commit random acts of kindness every day. And if you look around, you can always find a friend.
We know that this world is going to be even more crazy than it is now. We know that times are going to become much harder than they are now. But we also should remember that the winner has already been decided. No matter what our suffering, there will be peace in the end.
Enjoy your life. Take the time to actually slow down and smell the flowers. Read a book to your kids. Sit around the table and put a puzzle together. Sprawl out in the middle of the floor with a coloring book and a box of crayons. Find a camera and go take pictures of God's creations. Write a blog. Find a new recipe and surprise your family. Go to the nursing home and pray with someone who is about to go home. Forgive who you thought you would never forgive. Talk to God just to say hello and not ask Him for anything.. Stop worrying about your future and enjoy the present. Above all, love.
Yes, our world has gone crazy. But you don't have to.
