Memorial Day weekend is a welcome respite from the long winter and wet April. God blessed us in Central Ohio with beautiful weather. Commencements, Grad's parties, and Memorials of loved ones and Veterans have kept most us very busy this weekend.
I'm sure our God did not mean for humans to spend lives on earth in misery. We could have evolved into better societies were it not for sin. He soon realized selfishness in human freedoms have resulted in today's world-wide Soddoms and Gommoras (sp?). There He asked for and found not one faithful to Him That had left us far from achieving the truly good things on earth. Think on the good things- clear weather, good health, sufficient food, charity for the less fortunate, higher achievements with selflessness, love, laughter, and consideration of others, ... etc. all of which result in a clean feeling of goodness.and joy.
His answer was sending His only Son for our sins so that we can enjoy after-life happiness in Heaven. There, we will recognize friends and families, and all the experiences which He desired for his human creations.
Please help each one of us to escape our self-centeredness for selflessness and the memory and worship of our Creator.
