I read something my sister wrote the other day and it got me thinking about how things in life can catch people up and bring them down. I read about how people use Faith to get them through these times and as a firm believer that God does exist I have to agree. The biggest problems I have is the fact that people do not understand how my belief is different than the norm. It would be because the following makes me think in this way.
1) When you go outside in the morning and look around at all the life that is around you, the movement of every bug, plant, and animal, you have to wonder what type of mind had to create that. While you are out there you hear your kids getting up out of bed and running down the stairs and the same question pops into your head. When you reach down to hug them and know they are a part of you, you also wonder. When your wife comes into the room and you hug her and that feeling of love comes over you it is unexplainable. But when I look at it, it is life. A precious gift that should never be overlooked.
2) Then you have the negative parts. People who destroy life at will not giving those infants the very thing you have witnessed in the above paragraph. Because of your irresponsibility they have to pay the price. Celebrities today seem to think it is a chic way to deal with it. "it's my body my life". It was until you created life in it then it becomes yours and the babies life. I wonder how you would feel if the baby could just kill you and save it's life because it's the babies body not yours.
3) Over the years I have been working so much that I forgot what it was to have a family. I do not have a very good relationship with mine because we live so far away. But I do love them very much. But somehow we have gotten away from family in this country. Me and Ashley travel all over the place and I noticed in the South Family is everything. I see them get together on the weekends just to go to church and eat dinner afterwards, and they will stand by each other no matter what.
The one thing I have learned in this world is to be kind to everyone. Show compassion to everyone. Understand that life is precious and a once in a lifetime event. I get criticized about my way of believing in God mostly because they or the people asking do not understand where I am coming from. I explain it this way. I see life in a way most do not, I see life as a complex sequence of mathematical anomalies coming together to form the beauty and the structure of life itself. And God is the Processor. The intricate substance of life can only be processed by the original processor itself. God gave us the brains and the gifts to figure these things out. We just have to use them to do so. So everyday I use the knowledge that God has given me to get a greater understanding of my surroundings. Maybe someday I will have the same understanding as everyone else. But the way I see it God made me this way and this is how he wants me to search.
But to end this the one thing I want to say is, when you get up everyday look around you and see the beauty and the balance of life. Listen to your family and friends. I have gained a better understanding of certain aspects of God and the Story from Mrs Terri Maxwell and Brenda Bowersock-Rennels. A mother daughter team that can teach just about anyone about just about everything. Sometimes it is better to listen and learn than to speak out of turn. You would be surprised how much knowledge you will acquire that way.
Life is good, and to me very precious, I have wonderful kids and a Beautiful loving and devoted wife. "Life is beautiful"
