This has been the first year in a long time I have not been actively following the election coverage, minute by minute and I am at peace with this decision, I am grateful not to be posting anti this, pro this, on my Facebook, well, I still do but not like I did. I am learning so much more in this election year than I ever have in my life and I am loving it! I have seen so much hate, people discussing abortions for babies conceived from rape (yes apparently not all women can shut their bodies down, despite reports to the contrary), health care, the war, the list goes on and on, but you know where I stand on these....... Here is my question what can we do to help??? Are we being generous to our friends, families, strangers, and what about starving families, children, or even foster children. I am grateful for what our family has been blessed with, and I am sad for what we have lost, but guess what there is always someone in a way worse situation, ALWAYS.......
This past week we were at Furr's Cafeteria, and a young man who could not have been older than twenty asked if we had SPARE CHANGE so he could eat dinner, my daughter piped up and said you don't need change my mom will buy you dinner, we did! He looked so grateful and happy I had tears streaming down my face, when he asked me if I wanted my change, I refused and said no. I have never been one to hand out money and this young man taught me a lesson I will never forget, he just wanted a meal, just a meal, he was not trying to steal from me, rob me, go buy liquor, he sat down, offered me my change and ate.....what a beautiful picture it was!
So please let us all remember do not judge, do not assume you know someone or their circumstances, when we do we usually are wrong!
