I'll Listen Now

I have been wondering what would my Grandparents say about our nation's current situation. Would they have any advice for our age group or even our parents age group? 'I'm listening now', keeps coming into my head as I ponder this thought.

I can remember my Grandparents talking about the Great Depression but at the time I only listened as if it were a story. What would they say to me now about what they learned during that time. What would that generation say to us as individuals and as a country? I wonder what they are feeling during this economic hardship in our country? They have lived to see a lot happen in there time and I can't help feeling that we could glean something useful from that older generation that will be lost soon. Our children will grow up only knowing the older generation through stories. So what can we learn now from them that we can pass on? What useful information would they share with us?
I'll Listen Now.

Perpetuality

Perpetually Angry is what I have been pondering in my mind the last few days. It was brought on by meeting a person who is always perpetually angry. I thought my response to this person would be anger or frustration. Instead I find myself still saddened by my run in, not for myself but for that person. What a horrible way to live. It made me think that perhaps angry people see differently. Maybe they only see in plane boring colors. It reminded me of why God fills us with joy. If people are watching me are they going to think of me as I think of that perpetually angry person? I really hope not. It makes me want to strive to be joyous in my days. Even if I have a few grumpy days to try my hardest to conquer whatever may bug me that day and be the person God has created me to be, Me.
