UNCERTAINTY

These are the new lights that dad has put up in his shade deck after the other ones were cut and destroyed.  The shade deck has not been used very much this year as the weather has not become as hot as it did last year. 

I am a bit better this morning but I certainly will be smelling of A535 rub for awhile.  Thankful for pain medication that is helping a bit.  Finding new places that hurt.  lol

Watching the news more than normal yesterday the world is in a terrible mess.  The stock market is having a massive effect on our economy; while other countries have their streets full of violent people angry and violent.  Time have changed and peaceful protest is not an option. 

Where are our leaders?  It takes a very strong leader to fight for the weak and bring changes that will hurt for the present but bring hope to those who have no hope and nothing to live for.

My concern is how will it affect my family?  I think of when my first child was born and how my life changed and with each child I wanted to protect them from pain and suffering.  This began my life of prayer, which has helped me cope.  I realize that this is not the case for many people who do not want to be forced to pray words that they do not believe to an uncertain God.

As long as prayer can help me, even in some small way to be more loving and caring, and to let go of the fears we all face, then for me it is a source of strength.  My mind can be crowded with negative images and prayer helps me to find a calm, inner place.
