We have seen an election season of dishonesty, censorship,betrayal, and disappointments. What now? Do we wallow in our disappointments or do get up go on making our worlds better?
In this information age it is easy to find things that anger us. But only some of those things can we do something about. We sometimes feel if we are not outraged or involved at every level we do not care. That is not true. You and I cannot fix all the wrongs in our society.
We must work on our parts of the world. We must be responsible to work for positive change in our families, in our friendships, in our churches, in our communities. There is no “easy button” that can fix social and political ills. Only courage dedication and hard work by us will improve our lives.
Choose to work to protect freedom. Work to promote love and peace not hatred and anarchy.
If we learned anything we have learned that we cannot depend on politicians to do the right thing. We must do the right things and become as independent as we can. There will always be some dependence and interdependence but as much as possible we must depend on God and ourselves.
Be good. Be kind. Believe that what YOU do makes a difference.
