We are all in it together.

Point to Ponder: This morning I sit in a place I never thought I would sit; I am the outcast for I don’t suffer the same fate as these brave people. But I know the same fate lurks among us all, and it picks and chooses its target at its own whim.

The faces of those here show bravery, hope, disappointment, and fright all at once. They talk among themselves, some nonstop, others with caution. They come in, sit, are called, and go forth with anxiety and trust. I pray for each as they disappear into the back rooms.

We are all joined in the great mystery of life; some understand, others don’t. Some ramble forth with great hope, others seem to have given up. We are all guessing. No one knows the answers and only a fool believes he has them all. One man’s quest is another’s folly.

The point of my rambling is that we are all in it together. A big mass of humanity that can accomplish so much when united, or fall flat on our faces when divided. The higher callings of the better aspects of men are often unheeded at our own expense. We should seek the refinement of that higher calling, yet it seems division and chaos are ruling the day. It’s the same as it ever was.

We can do better. How? Focus on the good, the pure, the right, honest, and just within ourselves. Be the best you can be and show compassion for others that do the same. Trust in a higher power rather than the fools that our attempting to have you join in their idiocy. Ignore those that attempt to impose division and rancor among all in order to gain power for themselves. Believe with all your heart in the power God has bestowed upon you. For the individual is the masterpiece of the Devine…no one else like you has ever existed or will exist again. Believe in yourself, for that is where the true power lies. Share that power with others and lead.

Perhaps it’s not that simple, but it’s a start. We can do better and it begins with each of us…as individuals. Start today. Please.
