The Good Idea/Pick a weed or two

Good morning everyone….

Time to stop for a moment and share a few thoughts….

I want to talk about an observation which I had. Sometimes I see people just walking through their lives without stopping to pick a weed or two.

What do I mean by this – some people think that their existence is just to be - not to do. They are not pro-active in their day to day business and they feel that life should just be handed to them.

Life is not handed to anyone. Life must be worked to the betterment of all mankind.

Sometimes we want the answers handed to us; sometimes we want events to be made easy so that we can glide through them. Don’t you think that we all have a roll in making our lives truly livable?

Children learn that they have to behave in a certain way to attain certain privileges. As adults we should know by now that we have to act a certain way which is acceptable to all others.

Every now and then we have to pick up something that fell on the floor; even if we did not do it. Think how clean our earth would be if someone just picked up one thing and threw it away or hung it up.

What I’m saying is that everyone has a job to do. We must all carry our own weight. We cannot leave it to the next guy because soon the weight that he has to bear is too much.

I look at our children and I know that they are learning and we must give them grace. I get so bothered when I see an adult being impatient with the little ones; we were once there.

It’s in the doing that counts. It’s in the teaching that makes the difference. Let’s take a moment and pick a weed or two…let’s take off the blinders and see what is around us. It just might need to be tidied up a bit. It doesn’t take long to make a difference. Nancy (www.justaskbooks.com)
