I’ve spent
the last 17 months of my life in CRM ( City Rescue Mission ) in a
time of healing, and reflection. Simply put,.......getting a
strong hold on my Spiritual life!!
I’ve learned
many things while I’ve been there. I have learned a better way to
deal with people in general. How to treat them, and respect the value
of their opinions. Not to discount anybody because of differences
that may exist. Just because society has deemed a class called
worthless, does not give me the right to lower my standards to agree
with those that simply do not understand.
They call those
who do not actually fit in their class misfits. They call those that
do not own their own place a stain on their society............a
blotch,............a spot,.................or use some other form of
character assassination, because.............they simply do not
understand.
They say, ( once
again,........who is this.....THEY?) that most homeless people suffer
from some form of mental illness. I can't help but wonder how long
that the homeless have to be kicked around,....before that conclusion
becomes a reality? How much does a person have to endure to set
this illness in motion, or is that just the reason that they are in
that shape? This is the honest truth that I’ve seen personally.
Some of these folks have been so abused that they turn on each other
with more verbal abuse.
Now,............I
think that we have a problem here. We have one group that simply do
not understand, because they have not experienced this problems first
hand. They might have family, or former friends that suffer with a
negative affliction, but after a while wrote those folks off because
their words seem to fall on deaf ears. They can't understand why they
don't make the changes that are necessary to save them the pain that
they are going through.
Now, ….....there
is a double problem with the other group. Once you reach out to those
people with a real, working solution they do turn deaf ears toward
those trying to help. They have been so abused by themselves, and
others that they have drawn cold. Even the dream of ever having a
real life once again puts a fear inside of them of just another let
down.
The same real
working solution that worked for me will work in their case as well.
Actually, ….our country could use a good dose of the same medicine.
We all need to look to our creator if we are ever going to have any
true success. God doesn’t see things quite the way that most of us
see them.
There are some of
us that just do not believe in the whole God-Creator way of thinking.
They think that we simply evolved in various ways, and that we are
pretty much on our own. Once we die.......that's
it.......over,............kurpunk,.......nothing more.
Then there are
those poor souls like me that are hopeless romantic types where there
has to be more to everything. We feel the need to seek out our
creator in hope of finding help in a cold cruel world, because we
realize our need, and great affliction to not make it by ourselves.
Can I put it as
simple as I can at this time? Y'all know that empty spot
that's on the inside of us? Yeah,............the one that we try
to fill with all different kinds of people, drugs, alcohol, events,
food, sweets,...etc. Nothing seems to satisfy that empty craving for
long. We double, or triple the portion size in a vague attempt to
satisfy that craving, but nothing works.
Are y'all still
with me? Well,.......we have done well in realizing that
something is missing from our lives, and were not complete, or whole
without that missing part. Now,......i don't reckon that I’m
a genus,........nor do y'all,...........but I have me a working
theory on that massive hole that the wind blows through. I believe
with all my heart that when were created that our Creator installed
that wind tunnel inside of us. I believe He did that so that we would
seek Him out, because He has the right filler to stop that cold air
flow.
Now,..........that's
just a little something to think about.........
…............Much Love
