THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I woke up today to the sound
of raindrops pelting against my bedroom window; a rare occurrence in this part
of the country where not much survives without some help.
As I looked out at
the light drizzle sprinkling what I hesitate to call the lawn I noticed a small
patch of green struggling to make its way through the hardened and parched
earth. What I was witnessing, I thought, was a very small but significant
display of Mother Nature giving birth; profound indeed, especially under these
conditions.
This brought me to the
following conclusion and what I call my “thought for the day.”
I realized that we humans, in
the very short period of time we have walked upright on this planet have almost succeeded in trampling what was a beautiful, nourishing “garden of eden” and transformed it into a virtual toilet in
which we are dumping steaming hot piles of ( you can fill in the blank) junk.
Since we have little or no interest in learning how to flush it is
quickly filling up and beginning to overflow and causing disasters greater than any
seen before. Records are being broken quicker than we can record them. Still we persist on going on our merry way
towards self-destruction not realizing that one day, soon, God will "pull the
chain."
I realized that, yes, we are
indeed “God’s children” but tragically many of us were never potty trained.
