Sunday Reflection – Worthy Of Grace

Working for justice is an important act of love and peace. It requires a lot of us. Caring for the least fortunate is humanity in practice. There are some who are by society’s standards aren’t desirable but they need grace the most. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone is worthy of forgiveness.

I think compassion is in short supply and we need to generate more of it. My friends may we all be humble and extend arms that embrace those who struggle in life. May the creator be with us all as we live imperfect lives.

People are worthy of grace in abundance no matter who they are. Let’s hope we all learn from our mistakes and seek to be better and do better.

(I believe in what I just said in this post. However, there are some who need to be held accountable for their actions that have done great harm to others. They are worthy of forgiveness too but they also must ask for forgiveness for what they have done.)

Giving Blood On A Sunday

I donated blood today at Church which brings together a couple of worlds of mine. Twice a year we do a blood drive which I organize because it helps those in need. In full disclosure, I work at Blood Assurance which is our regional blood bank that brings a mobile donation unit to the church. We do this as an outreach to our community to provide life-saving blood to patients in the hospitals we serve.

It’s A Fun Friday

Hello there Friday it’s good to see you. I hope you are having a great day in advance of the weekend.

At midnight Taylor Swift released new music which is always fun for her many fans. The new album is named “Midnight” and from what I hear it’s well received. Her songwriting is terrific and she is a great performer.

The Hallmark Channel in America has begun its “Countdown to Christmas” original holiday movie extravaganza. It’s 24-7 movies about the most wonderful time of the year until January 2nd.

We can’t forget there’s Halloween fun to be had in most places. America still has Thanksgiving coming up. One thing at a time in its own time.

Love and peace to you all good people.

Politics In The UK

I have friends who are British and they deserve a government that is about service to the country rather than turmoil within the Conservative party. A general election is what would settle some issues and move the country forward.

With that being said outgoing Prime Minister Liz Truss was in a no-win situation.

Let’s hope for the best for the UK.
