Waking up to day 4 and I slept a bit better, managing to stave off total raw emotion so I could sleep. The conversation I had with my 11 year old grandson around my nephew's campfire eased my mind a bit too. I think our whole family is running on raw emotion for these kids right now. HOW DO WE SEND THEM BACK!? Why do we have to send them back. We want them, they are here, they have no one else, they have no home, no family, why, why, why!!?? What is their "fate"? More questions than answers!! If someone else tells me "God is in control of their fate and know what He wants for them", I swear they will get my full wrath! I know what God wants for them! Yes I do! He wants what he wants for us all! To be loved! To be able to love! They deserve love! We cannot blame God for this. We only have our selves to blame. God doesn't leave people helpless. We do. Even ourselves at times. But these kids, and kids everywhere, they have done nothing to deserve this so called fate! Their fate is because so many of us live to indulge or be indulged so much that others must suffer. We here in America have the luxury of fighting over the dumbest things! Politics, religion, celebrity BS! We all need a big dose of "get over it!". We need a lot lees talk a lot more action! I am perfectly aware that we are not all going to agree on everything, and we do not need to and we need to stop worrying about if we do or not and save these children! That is God's work! Saving children! God will not save the world, that's what we are for! We want to sit back and wait for God, or someone else to save the world IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! That's YOUR JOB! It's all our job. Jesus and every other great spiritual leader said GO, DO, BE, GIVE. We aren't listening. Will we continue to sell souls for Starbucks, Walmart trinkets, the newest iPhone and $500 prom dresses? Will we continue to over indulge our own kids with gorging bellies and wallets that they do not work for while children around the world are starving and being used for sex? Will we? This is what should outrage us!
I told my grandson that we can save the world. I believe we can. I told him Granny is frightened too! My heart is broken too. But we have to ask God "What are you telling ME to do today?" and then do it. Should you buy "that" put that dollar in a can and save it and we will send it to Denis in Ukr@ain so he can get an apartment and not have to live on the streets come September. We will pray for guidance for US, not for God to help them, but for OUR GUIDANCE to help. What, where when, who? I told Dylan that only when we live with that mentality can we truly change the world. We have to listen. We have to want to hear. He agreed to ask every day, trying not to worry, to love people no matter how they treat him; and to be comforted that we will give Denis and Lena so much love in their hearts form all of us that they can take it home with them and show love to their friends and love people they meet and protect themselves because they know they are loved so much that people can't take it away from them even across the ocean. I assured him we will do everything in our power, as a family to save them. And that as painful as this is on us that loving people is painful sometimes, but we must do it anyways because it's another part of being a world changer. Dylan's a world changer I can tell. His heart is so big! But our hearts must be cultivated or they will harden and we will forget and people will die. Are you a world changer?
On day 3 we also swam, did hair and make-up and saw Monster University. It was all good!
And one last thing, we all need to be more thankful!
