This is the time of year many people around the world become aware they should be treating others well. Why does it require a religious holiday to be considerate and giving to others? That homeless person is there year round. Children are hungry all the time. The elderly are being forgotten and neglected throughout their final years. It shouldn't matter where people live.
People tend to forget we are ALL brothers and sisters, no matter what country we are from. God does not care where his children live...all are his children. I have heard people say they will only help those 'at home'. While I can appreciate this sentiment, many in other countries need it more than those 'at home'. What is considered poverty, in America for example, is considered rich in another country. Let us not focus on taking care of just those near us. Let us focus on taking care of those that need it the most, no matter where they live.
I heard this song on the radio and just had to go find it to post on my Facebook page. I found this version, sung by Vince Gill, that was put together with quotes showing on the screen. It reflects my beliefs perfectly and inspired me to write about it here. Now if we can all just keep this in mind all year long, we might actually have peace on earth.
Let There Be Peace On Earth, sung by Vince Gill
Have a very merry holiday season, if you are celebrating a holiday at this time of year. And if you're not, have a very merry winter/summer (depending on where you are).
Love and Peace to you All!
