Sunday Reflection – No One Is OK

October 9, 2022 Tony Burgess 1 Comment

I am not OK. You are not OK. None of us is OK. Now that we have that established we are all humans in need of healing. We all have different ways of getting help. The reality of it all is that being honest about how we are feeling can get us closer to being whole.

As a human believer, I am not perfect and sometimes the divine has to step in to give me comfort and assurance. Just because you believe in God doesn’t mean you are free from the troubles of the world. Sometimes life is about going through troubles and having the creator walk with you through it all.

No matter what, just hang in there. Know that there are people out there to encourage you. Hope is also a powerful thing. Also, there is that thing called love where many of us are going to know they will make it knowing that no one is OK. OK.

Grace and peace to you all my friends.

Religious head coverings such as a hijab or yarmulke are worn out of love and devotion. In some countries, religious laws require women to wear hijabs and it shouldn’t be like that. It should be an option and would have more meaning if free will was the case.

In Iran, a twenty-two-year-old woman was beaten for shedding her hijab and later died. That is a horrible tragedy and now the women of Iran are protesting. I support those women who are standing up for themselves there.

Right now it’s hard to be a woman because religious zealots desire to control their lives. They also face abuse and violence. Women deserve better, they deserve respect, and they deserve freedom to choose in a myriad of ways.

Let freedom ring for our mothers, sisters, wives, cousins, friends, and others. It’s the 21st century after all or so we thought.

In the afterlife, money won’t mean much. You can’t carry it or anything else with you. Forgiving debt is a moral thing to do. We can’t get away from taxes, mortgage/rent, and everyday expenses but there are things we can do to make life easier for those we love and those who just need a break that we can provide.

Justice is an important thing and it’s what can make the biggest impact on our world. It comes in many forms and it’s amazing. So many people are struggling in one way or another and if they can encounter some grace and mercy it could do something wonderful for them.

Don’t forget to love and forgive those who need it and that includes yourself.
