Today's World

We discussed this in church today, and I muse about it myself all the time. I see so much greed in the world today. People who don't want to work, and want to take, take, take from society, no, not those who have had jobs, and simply can't get them. I see first hand young people with able bodies who don't want to work to suppport their families, who come to live with you, so you can give them a hand, but they don't want to do anything to help out. I see so many who don't want a hand up, but a hand out. What happened to pride, to family values, to the desire to do and give one's best? I don't know. I don't understand. I know that Satan roams this world, tempting all, and that without Jesus we will never be anything but a pawn in Satan's greedy game. Save us Lord Jesus. Come into our hearts, into our minds, and into our lives. Help us to once again take pride in you, in the accomplishments we can only accomplish with you. Help us to love you, and to love others, not use others. We are lost Father. We need you in our world today. I pray in Jesus name.

Dear God,
Thank you for all the family, the noise, the laughter, the food we shared. And thank you God for the quiet of the day after.
