Did God Put Something On Your Heart?

There are times in our lives as believers when we feel that God has put something in our hearts, but we fail to act on those feelings.

This begs the question: Why do we fail to act? Of course, the easy answer is to blame Satan, but I suspect that there may be more to it than just that. I think there are societal pressures that people fall prey to, especially when it comes to the opposite sex, when they are married. Sometimes, it could be that there may be a large age difference, and the younger person may feel they could not do anything to help. In most cases, I suspect they would be wrong in that assumption.

As I said to someone some time back ( who is married) that if something is put on her heart in regards to me, then follow your heart. She has, and I cannot express how grateful I am for how she has helped me get through the most difficult time of my life so far.

So has God put something on your heart? Then act on it and God will be happy and Satan will be mad. That is exactly the way it is supposed to be anyway.

Besides, always remember that when your time comes to meet The Lord God Almighty, all of those folks who have shared all of their “wisdom ” about how you should do something will be no where to be found.

Writing Inspiration

Through the years I have found many different kinds of inspirational things topics that I have opined on and some more than others. I think that as we long at topics to be inspirational to write about I think it all starts with how one sees the world. For me I’m a “big picture” thinker. I see the world as one giant jigsaw puzzle and I’m always trying to figure out where all of the pieces of life fit. Here is the fundamental problem with that way if thinking. The world around me is changing every second of every day so I’ll never find all the pieces which can be frustrating.

Kindness of Strangers

As we all go through life there are acts if kindness from people we have never met and probably will never meet again. Do you ever wonder who these people are and what motivated them to act in such a kind way towards you? Let’s be honest those kind folks often show up at times when we are not at our best? I know through the many years of my late wife’s health battles there were many acts of kindness by total strangers.

Here is an example as to what I am referring. I was walking the hall as my wife was having her 2nd open heart surgery within 9 days of each other when a woman approached. The woman asked me if she could ask me a question? That was ok with me. She said she had seen me walking by myself and said if I didn’t have any money she worked at the hospital cafeteria and we could use her credit to make sure I was fed. I assured her that I did have money on me but I did appreciate the gesture. I was just walking to kill time. That same woman could walk up to me today and I would not have any idea what she looks like. So when was the last time when a total stranger showed you an act of kindness?

The Crash Is Here!

The big crash that the one closest to me ( these days) knew was coming has arrived in all it’s glory! After 10 years of being a caregiver for my beloved wife ( and her death) and a new health issue for me ( the first major one without her) the big emotional and physical toll if all of it gas finally caught up with me. The bigger question is why did it take so long? It has been coming like a train through a darken tunnel for a very,very long time. I am extremely isolated, I eat everything in sight and frankly I really have no big desire to speak with anyone. Which of course is the wrong course of action. Some would say that is a sign of depression and they would be right. You’d be depressed too if you were in my shoes. I sit in a 3 bedroom house with a cat. I can’t drive because if a health issue ( my doctor is right about that. It would be unsafe for me or the public if I drove)

However, that being said unless you have walked in my shoes there is no way anyone can truly understand. The thing is I am in no danger if hurting myself. I have no desire or energy for that stuff.
