I think we can all agree that life in this great nation is quite contrary to what many of us, if not all of us, expected. Besides the culture shock and many other challenges out there,much of what we go through is a result of our own mistakes and of those that we love. Here’s what’s happening:
1.Daily quarreling and name calling that come as a result of misunderstanding over minute stuff.
2.A painful fight over money that arise due to the following:
*Argument as to who should pay what bill.
*Couples who happily support all others but their immediate family members
*Couples who give most of their money to charitable organizations while ignoring the needs of their immediate family members.
3.Lack of communication in some homes. Some couples live in one house but have hard time talking to each other. Many are strangers in their own homes.
4.Daily threats of packing and leaving to who knows where! Because of this, many try to find acceptance else where.
5.Daily crying that unfortunately falls on deaf ears-Some need help with children, school, work, and name it, but who cares!
6.Some of us are our greatest enemies. Even when deep in our hearts we know that a lot of what has happened is due to our un-wise decisions/choices,we still continue to dig our own graves as if nothing happened.
7.The un married have their own pain due to the lack of finding a life partner.Is it true that there are no good men and women out there? I don’t believe so. They might do well to check out the following:
*Their attitude
*Their lifestyle
*Perception of the community towards them/their families
8.And there are those whose family members are far away removed from them. They have cried and did everything possible but nothing good seems to happen.
Does any of the above apply to you? The good news is that our God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Let us therefore continue to send our petitions to the throne of grace. Let us hold on to Him until He has blessed us. Shall we?
