What happened to the practice of, do your best and leave the end results in God's hands? As the Presidential election comes closer and closer, I am still amazed to see how opinionated we all can be. Obama is this, McCain is that! When did we earn the right to slander and judge? It is as though all of a sudden we think our personal opinions are right. We want to throw our status, religion and anything else into the equation.
For some reason, we as humans think we can control everything around us. Big mistake as we are only responsible for our own thoughts, actions, feelings and opinions. If I want to be happy, it is up to me. I find it okay to have what I want, but I must also want what I have. What other people think, say or do is none of my business unless it affects me or my well being. There are exceptions for me when it directly affects my family. If I feel someone has offended me, I must look at what my part is. It may be that I had expectations or I myself lacked on follow through and didn't do what I needed. I am responsible for how I feel and act.
What happened to doing our part and leaving the end result in God's hands? Everything that happened, is currently happening and is going to happen is known by God Almighty and no one else. Nothing happens in God's world by mistake.
I see a lot of people stressing out over who will or will not be elected. I have the same concerns as many but, the best I can do is vote and know what I am voting for. I don't know that my one vote will change anything, yet I am doing my part. I refuse to argue and stress over something that is out of my hands. I am also grateful that despite the way things may appear, my needs are taken care of even if it isn't done the way I would like.
I will be glad when the election charade is over, but until then I can only do my part. This will consist of prayer, family, laughing, singing, writing or anything else that will allow me to enjoy life.
In the meantime, I will do my part by voting and leave the end results in God's' hands. He is the Divine Being.
