Beliefs......

What is it that you believe in?

There are many subjects that stick deep in one’s heart and soul. They believe in these things, so strongly, that they can become a control factor.

It’s a good thing to have something or someone to believe in. This is the very being, that gives us strength to conquer, obstacles that attempt to ruin our hopes, wishes, dreams and everyday lives. Our strength is what gets us beyond these things and on to a new day, filled with new things to accomplish and savor.

All too often we will notice the outer surface of a subject or problem. It seems to be the biggest thing that overwhelms us. Looking deeper, we find that it wasn’t such a big thing after all. Sometimes, we find ourselves, being embarrassed, because we allowed it to disrupt our thinking in such a manner. Sometimes, it out right, makes us mad at ourselves. All human, actions are made of these and yet they are very controlling in our everyday lives.

Religion, is an affecting, controlling subject that can rule many facets of our attitudes, emotions and actions. It can also, give us strength, to handle daily situations. It may be the words of a song, a reading, a scripture, the words of encouragement from a friend. There are so many ways, religion, can affect us.

So, what do you believe in? Is it a person, an action, a standard that has stood the test of time. Giving the chance, why not stop and think about your beliefs and evaluate them. See if they still meet you needs for living according to your standards. Find new things and see if they could become a belief, you could adapt to.

A Reason

Many things come to mind, as I write this post. Mostly I find the reasons, come from within. Finding reasons to believe, are very hard to do, when you are so wrapped up in other feelings and locations of emotions. You may ask, what are we believing in on this subject or that? Well, it may be yourself, your mom, dad, sibling, a friend, mentor or great leader. Things that help us believe, come from the heart, inspiration, or just a incident that happened, waiting for us to see it. Believing in something gives us a reason to live our life daily, in the manner, we need to feel comfortable. If we believe, then there is a strength to carry us through any occurrence, we may come in contact with. To believe, is to have a reason or a value in which, to live and have hope of the future.

Dear Sean

It's only been since Aug. 30, 2009, that you left us, but it's seems like a lifetime. When you loose someone, it feels like a big hole has been kicked into your stomach as well as your heart. I wasn't that close to you, but the times you spent at my home visiting, were memorable. I enjoyed the dinners, we had together with all the family. You were considered one of the family, right up to the time of your death. The holidays, will definitely be different this year, and I'm sure there will be several who will remember you being with us during those and other times. God, rest your soul, and it is my hope that you are visiting with your Mom, now that you two are together once again.
