I recently had a moment...ok... a few moments that lasted several days where I felt that the world was against me. But I discovered something that I already knew, that I needed to consult the Master to help me sort my feelings. I needed to pray that God reveal to me my errors and faults and show me WHY I was feeling this way.
It wasn't that the world/people were necessarily against me, but it was the enemy who preys on me feeling low. So you know, God has already shown me that I can be smarter that the devil. All I had to do was simply rely on Him for answers. He has always been my Strength, my Support, my Inspiration and my Guide.
So I did what I should have done first...PRAY! Prayer really changes things...most of all it changed how I was feeling and you know something else? I am Thankful!
PLEASE BE SAFE AND THANKFUL THIS SEASON!

Those words as well as the quotations mentioned could not have come at a better time, Mary. Virtually every day oughtat be Thanksgiving and not just limited to the last Thursday of November. I just wish more people-esp. our people-would think, feel, and act likewise. Who knows? That just might be the change that this city needs. But be that as it may-wishful thinking-the mindset change has to be on the individual to want that change to happen (I think I went a bit off-topic). But I share your sentiments just the same.
