Well, it has been quite a while since my last post and I really have not been up to much besides work, church, home, friends, crafting, shopping, you know the usual. I decided against the 30 days of thankfulness on FB this year. I just can't make myself do it unless I'm feeling it. Not that I am un-thankful. You see, for me to sit at this computer and mindlessly play a game is one thing, but if I am commenting on a friend's wall or a post, I have to mean it, or I just won't do it at all. I cannot just write Happy Birthday. I CAN'T! you will NEVER see a comment from me on a "drama post" I just will not do it.
Sometimes, I am sure, that people think I am hard or insensitive. Believe me, this is not the case. I just have an unbelievably low tolerance for attention seekers. For instance, "my life sucks!" makes me want to delete the friend. I don't, but I want to. How about call a real friend who cares about you & wants the best for you. Not look for attention from a bunch of strangers who look to your posts like people at a car accident.
Enough of that. How easily we become distracted from the good to the sensational. I have many people in my life that are in need of jobs, homes, better health, better parents, and better circumstances in general. So for me to be concerned with sillyness would be just that. The world gives us the greedy, the self serving, the gangsters and the whores to "look up to" and spend our mental energy on. I will choose to follow God & the one who died for me, Jesus Christ. I will choose to focus on my blessings. I will choose to believe that everyone deserves my best. I will choose to make these choices, even when I don't want to.
Thank you to all of my brothers & sisters in the Lord who encourage & inspire me daily with your words & prayers & sacrifices. My prayer is that we could all just back away from the wreck & look for someone to lift up. Enjoy your turkey & your friends & family! I hope to be back soon.
