Why do we try so hard to do our very best to make others happy? Why do we always put others before ourselves? Why do we put what we want on the back burner of life leave it there and never pull it to the front to take care of it? What do we do when we have given all of ourselves away and we have nothing else left to give? We only have one life to live. We only get one time to do all of the things that we want to do in this life, and sometimes we still never get to do what we want to do because we are always having to sacrifice something that we want so that others can have what they need from us; it isn’t fair that we have to do that.

We care about what we do for others, but the question is this, are we appreciated for what we do for those that we are doing things for? Do they even stop to think that what we do is very important? Do they even say to themselves that they thank God for us? Will others sacrifice for us what they want so that we may have the things that we need? Will they go out of the way to do something important for us as we do for them?

Sometimes people get what they want out of you, but whe you need them they turn their backs on you. They act as if you are not important; they look down their nose at you like you are not even a human being. They talk about you as if you owe them something. I for one have experienced that a time or two.

Nothing changes because people will not change. Some are heartless and selfish, mean and hateful, rude, crude, uncaring, and just downright arrogant pricks. It is what it is. Yes, the truth is hard to swallow, but the truth is the truth. I am talking in general because it is what I see on a daily basis.

When we treat others how they want to be treated, good comes from it. When we treat people bad, nothing good comes from it. I was always taught to treat people how I want to be treated. The person that you are mean to just might have to help you someday, but the question is this, will they help you? Will they throw what you did to them back up in your face, or will they turn the other cheek and help you instead? This is why we should treat people right; you just never know who may have to come to your rescue.

When we change, things will change. If we do not change, things will not change. Things will always be the same as they have always been. Let us all change for the better so that the world that we live in will be a better place for future generations.

Believe me when I tell you, children are watching everything that we do. They soak up everything that they see us do. Let us make good choices, and set good examples for them so that they will make good choices when time comes for them to go out and make their way in this world.

Stay safe everyone, we are all in this together.

Through my eyes I see a world afraid to live, and afraid to give…afraid to be normal just for a little while.

Through my eyes I see joy in some places even though we are going through this pandemic, but we must fight on. We must not forget that Jesus is our Savior, and He is still watching over us. We must still have faith through it all.

Through my eyes I see young people walking around like there is nothing going on in the world that can harm them. They do not understand how serious this is…they party like there is not a care in the world.

They seem to look at this as a glass half empty instead of half full. They seem to think that it will eventually go away, but how wrong they are. This virus is deadly, and they treat it like it is a game or something, like it is not real.

People are still being killed by this virus. When are they going to start being serious about this? I am not saying all are taking this a s a joke, but I see many people not wearing their masks.

Come on and realize that it is going to take a miracle for this to vanish into thin air. Let us take this to heart, that this is here to stay for who knows how long. What about the children that are being born into all of this chaos? What about their lives? Innocent children having to face this horrible virus! Little ones wearing masks and don’t know, or understand why something has to be on their face.

Through my eyes, I still see God’s love, I still have faith that this will come to an end in God’s own time. I still believe that we can make it through this together by protecting ourselves and others by doing what we are supposed to do. Yes, it is hard to get used to doing something that we have never had to do before, but it is the world that we live in today.

Let us continue to pray to God to work a miracle in this world so we can live safely, and normally like we were before this cane along. We cannot lose faith. We must fight the good fight of faith. Just know that in the end we win!

All praises be to God, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who was and is and is to come, Amen!
