Girls Talk

 Me and the girls were at Bunco on Thursday and one of us was talking about her son who is graduating from HS. He is a devoted Christian and so kind and strong. He should have a bright future ahead of him.  

We then all got to talking about what we hoped for him and for all our young people. One of our ladies, mentioned that it seemed like the things she was wishing for her life are now out of reach. Back at Christmas they were looking to buy a new vehicle for her daughter to haul the littles around because her Malibu is on its last legs. Right now it doesnt look like they can swing it.

I wonder how many of us feel the same? Like Donna were you dreaming of helping your family out? Did you dream of opening a new business or just keeping one going? Buy a house? Being able to afford care for our elders? Moving up with a job? Disneyland? Starting a family? And now they are talking even that there won't be toys to buy for Christmas. None of it seems very possible right now. Not for years and years. How did we get from having dreams to nothing so quick?

The Darkness is surely upon this land. I expect we can rise above. With God's guidance and love, we will be ok. But it surely seems that the hard times are falling the hardest on those with the least. Johnny and I will be ok because we have a bit set by. But my heart hurts for those that are just starting out and those who are facing the time when their labor was supposed to ease up. We are all going to have to tighten our belts a bit. But why dont it seem like Elon Musk is having to tighten his belt? 

In Mathew 6:34 we are told “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble".

Is what we are going through really God's plan for us? I saw Donald Trump on the tv a few nights ago, and I will have to admit to you right now that I didn't see God in his words like I used to. He didnt seem like our beloved strong leader at all. I saw some clips of him with his Cabinet and they were all going around heeping praise on him and he seemed like he was basking in it. It didnt sit right with me. That type of praise is what we give to glorify Jesus. And there was Elon Musk in the middle of it all but wearing two hats on his head acting the clown.

I pray Donald Trump will find God's way again. I pray that God will open Mr. Trump's eyes to what his people need right now and to do the right thing. He is our Fighter, and I pray he will turn away from the darkness and the praise and become our Fighter again and ease the path of our young ones and our elderlies.
