Money matters---- Life matters

Rmg's comment on selling home and me talking like a priest makes me write this post .I am sorry.I know many of you don't like hearing this- call me grand mum ,priest..But unfortunately ,its suffering; i see in my family and friends around me.
The present world , see a lot of deaths some accidents ,Als,cancer, sudden- all of a sudden, kidney failures, heart attacks. .the list is endless. I know some of you have had the personal tragedy in your life and know of what i am speaking about...These are no more the old 70 and above age group.. they are getting younger and younger.. their kids 5 less or more- parents suffering with health issues, they not having work.
Even kids who are suffering 1 yr and above having convulsions, turning blue not breathing. Each day you hear/see a new suffering,i feel- how lucky we are , Those of us who does not have to worry about such things.Their parents cries still fresh. Don't know when our time will come.
Each day a person who goes to work here has no guarantee of them having work when they come back. Recently, 1 day back 7 of them from my husbands dept were told to pack and leave ,escorted by security, in few mins. so many other friends told us the same things.. so many we know not having job. Hope and pray that they get a Job and thank God for each day He takes us through-so many slips/spins in cars,so lucky many times.
Many of us have started cutting on food, gas, electricity,although its freezing cold. gets dark early..they increased Gas, electric bills almost 100$ -200$ more per month.
Many of them just quit their life, some trying different ways..
All of us are looking forward to hearing a good news and just pray. At this time you see, silly people ,insensitive and also some dummies walking from family and all the good things they have. Then i don't know how to react -sad for the rest,fight for the rest..
I am seeing all this in own family, friends circle and News its more, of course!.
When i hear many people talk about all this , i feel ,unhappy when a person who has both spouses working complain of not getting gifts for Christmas or something like that. When they do, i don't know what to say to them. Don't take it personally. If you do -think of someone you know ,who has a worse situation than you, in your own circle.
BE SENSITIVE TO OTHERS, KIND,LOVING ,UNDERSTANDING-If you know any one encourage them to speak.
( remember v's call-don't know if it helped make a difference for her) Wish we all could help. Now a Days we have no time for calling, writing or keeping in touch with anyone but the person you want to.
FRIENDS -I see ,and feel hurt for them all, that's why i talk and say the things i do. I say or write take care,God bless ,really thinking and praying and remembering the persons going to read it.Same wishes to each One of you ,my Friends and your family. GOD be with you all.hope to hear your achievements and Good news.. so wish u all that.I know bad also is there.
I really Feel happy and love it when you all post photo, message or comment. That's sometimes the things which bring some spice to our life. Or your chats, messages Forwarded also.
