Good over Evil

 "I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.  This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant." ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

In my lifetime I've seen so many tragedies resulting from evil in this world.  From the horrific events we all see in the news; to the very personal ones that have happened around me. 

Back home in a town of 500, a young boy was shot for no reason by a neighbor, while visiting relatives with his brother.  I remember how fearful I was to let my children out of my sight after that.

Years later while my sons were still in school, a favorite teacher was killed by her husband in a horrific tragedy that left their 3 children without both parents in the end.  I shocking event for all the children in the school community.  

A year or two later, a beloved friend and her son tragically killed by a drunk driver.  The entire community mourned including my sons whom loved these 2 people like family.  Heart wrenching and so hard to understand why or how these things can happen.

I remember my friend and her son's funeral service so vividly.  The Pastor of our church talked about how God doesn't let bad things happen.  That bad things happen because Evil/Satan is in the world and because God gave us free will, allowing some to choose evil or make bad decisions; such as driving drunk unfortunately.  

I don't believe that God causes any of these tragedies to happen.  That is free will or the evil in the world.  What I believe is that God is there for us when those things happen; to comfort us and to bring people together.  I also believe that he uses bad, even tragic situations to teach us lessons for the greater good.  Lessons in love, compassion, appreciation, acceptance and even forgiveness.  Which help us to see that there truly is more good in the world than bad.  The evils of the world will not push me out of believing there is good in the world; or away from God.

"Your journey has molded you for your greater good, and it was exactly what it needed to be. Don't think that you've lost time. There is no short-cutting to life. It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the now. And now is right on time." — Asha Tyson

Time and Heart 

Countless lifetimes, carrying joy and sorrow both...

How many dawns have greeted my eyes,

Thoughts remained wordless inside?

Seeing something of our tomorrows,

Standing at the threshold, here,

Between shores of old

And the rise of new beginnings...

Destined journeys, myriads of possibilities,

Countless worlds and beings await.

To carry them into the new cosmos?

Time and heart will tell...

Life is a Process of Change

"One of my most important realizations was that all life is a process, NOT an event. We often play devil's advocate to our greater good when we become impatient with the natural and gradual blossoming of our own consciousness." ~Chelle Thompson, Editor of Inspiration Line

The Course of Life, Time, And Events and The Process of Change

Time or fate may separate friends, lovers,

But friendship or love that's true will ever

Thenceforth continue to live forever,

True love conquers the odd with its power.

As time passes by, things change with the time,

Every moment, hour, day, month, and year,

All things have their turn to change with the time,

Life, time, and events change with the years.

Everyone, everything, have a time and day,

A time to change, end, begin a new day,

Change is life, the course of life everyday,

All things change, and we change with them all days.

Only the Eternal one is constant,

All things in the universe, inconstant,

But despite it all, love is important,

The world may change, but true love is constant.
