That's How Life is...

Good morning to one and all. I read this post a few minutes ago and thought how this applies today in America.

 

We are in a New Great Awakening – like the many we have successfully accomplished in the past. This one is Good vs. Evil. America is having trouble coming to grips with what to believe. Who is right and who is wrong? 

 

Dr. Charlie Ward has helped me to refine my moral compass. His guidance to research things yourself. Then you can decide what is right or wrong. It is really that simple. 

 

This journey will have lots of bumps in the road, many challenges, broken hearts, difficult decisions to make. Remember God is inside of you. Have those important talks and together you will fine the correct answer and direction to go forward. 

 

I pray every day to the Lord, I thank him each morning for another day to carry out his will, to do the right things, help others in need, spend time reading and researching what has happened, what is going on and what is to come. To separate the truth from evil.

 

May the good Lord bless and watch over each and every one of you.

Every month Martín’s parents took a trip to see Grandma and came home on the same train the next day. 

 

One day the child said to his parents:

 

′′I'm already grown up. 

Can I go to my grandma's alone?"

 

After a brief discussion, his parents accepted.

They stood with him as he waited for the train to exit.

They said goodbye to their son and gave him some tips through the window. 

 

Martin repeated to them:

 

′′I know. I've been told this more than a thousand times."

As the train was about to leave, his father murmured in his ear:

′′Son if you feel bad or insecure, this is for you!"

 

And he put something in his pocket.

 

Now Martin was alone, 

sitting on the train as he had wanted,

without his parents for the first time.

 

He was admiring the landscape out the window. 

Around him some unknowns pushed themselves in. 

They made a lot of noise.

They got in and out of the train car. 

 

The conductor made some comments about him being alone.

 

One person looked at him with eyes of sadness.

Martin was feeling more uneasy with 

every minute that passed. 

And now he was scared.

He felt cornered and alone. 

He put his head down, and

with tears in his eyes,

He remembered his dad had 

Put something in his pocket.

Trembling, he searched for what his father had given him.

 

Upon finding the piece of paper he read it:

 

′′Son, I'm in the last train car!".

 

That's how life is,

We must let our kids go

We must let them try new things. 

 

But we always like to be

In the last car, watching,

in case they are afraid 

or in case they find obstacles and don’t know what to do.

 

We want to be close to them.

as long as we are still alive.
