Sticks and stones

 Isn’t it a shame that there are people in this life that don’t have a clue what life is? I hate it when those people claim to  be a changed person, a Christian,  your friend, or someone who cares. Do they really? I think there are more people that love and thrive on starting fights, gossip, name and finger pointing, grudges, blames. They spend more time reading between the lines but they have their eyes closed. Their lives are empty, sad, lonely, and finally forgotten. You know, a wiser man than any once said,” Let Him Who Is Without Sin Cast the First Stone”. 

I am learning a lot in life. No one is without sin! My sister and I watched a love one draw her last minutes of air while on her death bed, while her loved one fought and lashed out in anger. What should have been peaceful was taken away from her. I have listened too many times to hypocrites in this world who live by the words,” Do as I Say (Not as I do)”
I am learning a lot in life. To turn the other cheek does not mean to turn it over and over again. I am learning to take control of my thoughts, my feelings, and my well being…me and I am blessed because of learning this !


Whats that old  childlike saying...Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me

  1. That is why we hope that we go to a better place after we die. Because of all the hell some people put on us and we wonder why, because they don't know what they are talking about! We all go through a lot of hell on earth. Thank God, we can talk to him and he knows the truth because he is watching....He is our Judge and jury not Man.Love!!

  2. How nicely put, and I'm doing the same. I sit outdoors, fishing or just in my backyard and think about life. I guess I'm getting older, and life is more meaningful now, and I have to think about what I still want out of it. You're words are very true, and if everyone felt this way, then it would be a nicer world out there.

  3. I agree.....I also feel that many people say "I Love You" over & over again...like calling wolf without really understanding what it means to truly love. It is just words to them used over & over & over. After a while one learns to stop listening.
