It’s so easy to get carried away, chasing after beautiful things, and forgetting the basics.
In the process of this material chase, we would get into disagreement with our loved ones, we would get angry, frustrated, envious of others, jealous of others and disappointment.
Many questions would pop out – often, self blaming or blaming others. These are not constructive questions and may even lead to greater bitterness.
It is time that we get a hold on ourselves.
Take a step back.
Ask ourselves – what are we chasing after? Who are we satisfying? Is there life after all this materialistic chase? What is our original purpose? What are we celebrating?
I suppose we can see clearer after all the hoo-ha have settled and when we can think more logically/rationally or the least, making decisions that would benefit us all ….
Pray for us.
Pray that we are able to share our joy with friends and relatives from our hearts and with Him and NOT sharing our joy in the form of materialistic manifestation, being part of the rat race. Pray that we will stay loving towards one another always and pray for understanding, patience from all the people around us. Pray that we are able to hear Jesus’ directions for us loudly and clearly and not be blinded by superficial things. …. These are my prayers. AMEN.
