Everyone is on another path than the one we should be on. So many I feel have forgotten the path we should be on this weekend. We should be remembering the ones who were so brave they were willing to die for us. We should be remembering they did die for us. It's the least we can do for such a gift given to us....remembering them. Please take time to remember them.... They have much to teach us. We need to learn the lessons of their death.
We are consumed with this election. I do know we need to pay attention on what goes on so we can do better for ourselves in our future. Today I want to talk about our roller coaster ride were on and how we have the choice to do better for all of us so we don't have to live through this again. So we can stop killing people, killing ourselves.
It's all up to us - we the people - we have the power
*****************************I could get really deep about things. I just want you to think so I'm going to try to keep it simple. We have the power to change. To stop making so many we remember on Memorial Day.
I tell my children all the time they have choices with their actions. When I have to punish them for doing wrong I tell them "you do good, you get good. You do bad, you get bad" so they know it's the choices they make in life that decide what they will receive, good or bad. We have choices on a personal level and also as a human race. Lately we have been given the choices we have made. We've been given a whole lot of bad. It's our choice to change things, to make them better.
Life is a roller coaster ride. There are always ups and downs. The ups are what life is really about. This gift we have been given (life) is meant to learn from our past, our downs -our lows, so that we can stay on the top of the roller coaster as much as possible.
We haven't learn our lessons of the past. I am living the same in my adult life as I did in the days of my youth. We are in a so called war killing people. We all let this happen. We together have the power to stop this from happening but we haven't learn our lessons of the past thus they are repeating themselves. I hope this time we can learn our lessons so we keep these young kids who we hear about every day with us.
We have the power when we do the right thing. When we pay attention and get involved with those who make the decisions. We have the power in using the precious time given to us to action. I believe we are awaking the nation because there are more of us putting their time to action.
We've hit the low part of the roller coaster. We are on the ride back up. Depending on us will decide how long we stay on top. When we make the right choices good things will happen - for all of us.
This part isn't about the election but what we are doing together - as a people. What we can do when we come together and do the right thing. It's not about OB being our next President. It's about us getting involved. Knowing in our hearts we are doing the right thing for all of us. It's about the power of the people. Thousands are showing up to OB's events. They aren't showing up for OB - he's just a person. They are showing up because they know the power we have together. We are starved to make things better.
This is the lesson we will learn this time. Linking OB to JFK - Iraq war to Nam. We can learn our lessons of the past.
We can learn from their death. We are walking down this path again. We the people together can do great things. We can stay on top of the roller coaster as long as we want. We don't have to hit the bottom so hard in our future.
When we remember them they live on
They joined the military to make things better for us
Honor them by keeping them alive, by being their voices
It's our choice to learn the lessons of their death....their gift to us
I pray for peace in all humans that the love is so strong between us so we don't have the desire to kill one another....
Enjoy your moments - for them. Life is precious.
Be thankful you have your family with you and don't have to spend your Memorial Day like this.
