Blessed Be Those Who Mourn, God Is Doing The Same.
StandardThere is temptation to blame God for what we have seen today. God has done none of this. Men made bad decisions that led to the deaths of hundreds of people. God is going to be there in the aftermath, in the people who will help comfort, console and those who will seek peace in the chaos. Granted some will have a test of faith and that is understandable. To those who believe be sure to pray, to those who don’t offer good vibes in the universe. Now is the time for people to come together as a human family.
God isn’t in the event. He is in the response to the event. In the love that is shown and the care that is given.
Grace In The Chaos
StandardOffer grace to those who are under stress and say and do things that are hurtful. Whether it be family or friends being kind when you are persecuted by loved ones it hurts the most. Our anger can be there for a season, we hope. Grace in the chaos of life can be the greatest gift you can offer to those you love and care for. The last time I checked none of us is perfect.
Peace and Calm in The Chaos
StandardIn our world of chaos and turmoil I pray that each of us will come together to be the change we want to see. Many are suffering personal issues that has binded them from living life in its fullness. Our communities have violence on the streets and in the workplace. Natural disasters have impacted many people and places around the world. God I pray for your grace and peace and calm through all of this. I ask you will give us comfort in days like these.
Friends, know someone cares. There are people who think you matter and that you are special. Hang in there, this too shall pass.
Asking For Help
StandardThere are times in life when you have to admit you need some help. Life throws all sorts of stuff at you and coping isn’t easy. People get mired down in despair and drama, so much so they can’t find their way out. It’s my opinion we aren’t built to live in chaos, although it seems to be that it wants us. Asking others to give you a hand is not a bad thing, admitting that you can’t do it all is being strong.
Everyone needs affirmation in life and they need to know they are fundamentally good. Having a safari guide into the wilderness that is our heart and souls can help us find our way in in the world. Relationships with spouses, partners, family and friends seem to be more complex these days. Finding ways of simplifying our connections with others will help increase the peace. I always say let go of selfishness and ego and your life will improve. However don’t let others take advantage of your good nature.
Support from family, friends and even professionals can get you going on the right path. I am blessed to have all of these components in my life. Of course I want to be there for others too. My life has been blessed by those who have helped me and its up to me to pay it forward.
Friends if you can’t see your way out of situations by what you are doing now reach out for help. There are organizations ready to lend you a hand. Don’t live in chaos, drama and the like. Be free for joyful participation in community. Love and peace to you all.
Nothing wrong with a routine that protects you from chaos.

An adviser to Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi said Wednesday that a military coup was underway, that tanks were on the move outside Cairo and that communication with the president had been cut off.
This it’s serious. May they find peace in this political chaos.
You can’t plan for chaos. You have to just brace yourself and roll with it when it does.
Life’s Chaos
StandardWe live in a world full of Chaos. Personal, professional, political, situational and other things drive us crazy. People have problems that are of their own making while other times its out of our control. I am reminded that the calamity we see is not always the result of natural disasters but some of the choices we make. There is plenty of blame to pass around and some of it goes to God and others. Sometimes chaos can give us creation.
Lord Byron once said Out of chaos God made a world, and out of high passions comes a people. It’s true that Chaos can be good but other times we don’t know how to manage our lives through it.
The greatest example of making it through a chaotic event was when the folks in Japan who suffered through a tsunami that wiped out their lives came together, offered no excuses and just helped one another. Those who went through super storm Sandy were strong and resilient through a horrible weather event.
Friends we have all gone through some rough times. Life offers no guarantee of perfection but we can make it through and we can prosper through it all. Hang in there to all who need encouraging.
