I keep thinking of those concentric circles
surrounding self and extending to family,
friends, community and world. I've spoken
of this before but frankly, these thoughts
are never far from my mind.
Those brought up in Christian homes are
often taught that self should be last and
that we are to gift all to others. I think the
idea of self first is that if you've got your
head on straight, everything else will fall
into place.
I find myself taken with the former and
seduced by the latter . . . When helping
others, there simply isn't enough time to
be obsessing with self. Not sure if there's
a half way in between . . .
In our current affairs, things are being
brought to light that have long been in the
dark and much needed sussing out. Perhaps,
this is exactly the time when we can set
self aside and dedicate our concerns to
those who have been left out or long been
mistreated.
wish to make things right
woes of this world are many
pray how can i help
