Courage is perhaps what it's all about . . .
After writing about fear yesterday, I
asked myself, "How about focusing
a bit on its opposite rather than
concentrating only on the negative?"
I also recognize there's courage and
then there's courage! It takes great
courage for some to even face the
day as life is so difficult for them.
It takes great courage for bullied
children of all ages to even go to
school. As a teacher, this malady
enrages me almost more than any
other sin!!!
I look at people of different walks
of life rather than status quo, and
bow in amazement at what they
have to put up with from the
unfriendlies! Can't even imagine
the courage it must take to be
anything from eccentric to any
kind of other in today's society!
Special children, those with specific
needs, are often disregarded, ignored
and not treated like the other kids.
What courage these children must
have to face these daily mistreatments.
In thinking about these courageous
peoples, and others we may not know
about, I find myself much moved,
wowed in fact! Something to think
about and have a good look-see at
how I treat everyone!
pray grant me courage
tis needed for one and all
lest we forget fear
