Are you feeling Hostage to the" Out of Control"????

Frustration expresses just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the ever changing events in our world today. If I let myself get caught up in it, it could drive a good man to drugs or alcohol. A great man once said, "Lift where you stand".  I certainly could not lift a Baby Grand Piano by myself, but with enough willing hands lifting from where they stand, the job can get done. Collective action can make miracles happen. The fear is that since we feel so minuscule in our abilities to bring about change, that we "Give Up" and Give In". we can not change the world as a whole but we can change our selves and our family. living an exemplary everyday live will not help the Malaysian jet to be found or to reduce or add Sanctions to Russia, but it will create a place of refuge for our spouses and our children. Heaven on earth is one of the most valuable commodities in our world today. We need to be cognisant of not "Bringing it Home" with us after a particularly rough day. Life's issues need to stay at the door right next to our shoes. Faith and Hope is the language that needs to be spoken in our homes. Our children have enough negative to deal with in their everyday lives that they don't need their problems compounded by the negativity of those whom they look to for support and peacefulness. We can change our world if we will but "Lift where we Stand" and encourage and teach our children to do the same. Repetition of good in our homes will change the world eventually. Bruce Lee said "I don't fear the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I do fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. May we all find the courage to "Lift Where we Stand".
