WHEN TIMES SEEM TOO DIFFICULT: At times the world seems to be closing in on you, no money for bills, no food in the cupboard, arguments with the spouse, children fussy and always crying, work is frustrating and less and less what you want to do. Self doubt, guilt etc. start to come upon you. Just stop, get away for a second, go to a quiet place, breathe deeply, and concentrate (meditate - pray) on this: There is a purpose for all things, you are important and you are loved. This may not seem too evident at present but none the less it is true. God the creator, however you understand that, brought all things to being and that in itself is proof that you are who you are and where you are for a reason. You need to face the reality of your current situation and that it may be the consequence of past behavior or events but you need to say. “Here I am, right now. What do I do next?” You can choose. Choice - free will - is something you and all of us poses. It is a powerful tool and can be used for good or bad, for progress or regress, or deciding to do nothing and stay in the quagmire. Sometimes it is hard to do, very hard, but the sacrifice is worth it. So make a choice! Choose to go forward, choose to forgive yourself and others, ask others (including God) to forgive you – if that is what is needed. Accept this forgiveness - then move on! Choose to be happy, or at least content, where you are. If you can’t get to content then just accept where you are. It is your reality so face it. Know that there is a plan a destiny and you can influence your life by choosing to trust God and decide to have a positive attitude whatever your situation is. It may be difficult, even painful, but you can do it. You, as head of your household, and example among friends and coworkers can choose to exhibit a positive attitude and thereby create a positive aura that will benefit all. Once you truly and honestly do this, you have released your burdens to God and any shortcomings are behind you. You can totally feel the freedom this gives you. You can confidently move forward in joy and through love spread it to others. This in itself will wipe away the depression and set you on the right path again. Eventually you will celebrate this liberation and learn to love and enjoy the Creator and creation with all your heart, mind and strength and you will become one with others through selfless love that The Christ taught us by willing choice of sacrifice for each and every being to bring us into oneness with creation and Creator. -Brother Bricker
