The wave then ripples into many different directions, the combination of which comprise the multi-billion dollar prison industry in our country. Sad, but true. If we all loved our neighbor as ourselves, then we would be helping to provide the clothing that needy family had to steal to get. But we are a long way from that, aren't we. And sometimes I think we're getting further away every day. Perhaps that's why the Psalmist wrote about being led beside the "still waters"... those who are rowing the boat are usually too busy to make waves. :-D The wave of the stolen money usually ends up lapping at the shore of my employer… and the person responsible is generally surfing it right in.

We are all called to do different things and those things that I've been called to do are things I strive to do. I'm by NO means better than anyone, I'm called to do what I'm called to do. Sometimes it is easy to do these things and sometimes NOT easy to do them. I've wrestled with working and more money versus less money and more interaction, teaching, creativity and volunteerism for years. I'm in a holding pattern with Young Son going into kindergarten in the Fall. If I am listening and patient God will reveal the next step. The admiration is mutual! Hugs!

One could write a book on it, eh?! That is one reason why I believe that Jesus said it so simply and elegantly, "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you." What a world this would be if everyone did it...the vastness of those waves would be unimaginably wonderful! We humans make things much more complicated than need be in an effort to understand all...and much of it may never be understood (at least while we are in human form). Sending waves of love your way!

I know it His time that is the right time. It helps to know that others tackle the same issues even when trying our best to walk in faith. He told us that the way is narrow and boy is that the truth. But what a wonderful person we become as He molds us...it is ALWAYS for good! Thank you Angie! I know it His time that is the right time.

This can apply to every area of our lives. I can never do wrong and not 'hurt anyone else'. Sad to say, but every action whether good or bad affects many many others. Kinda like the reaping what we sow. I do believe this goes much deeper and can deeply cause an effect for a long time to innocent parties..Too long for those thoughts now..but it is so much as you describe..a wave..and whose shore indeed will the wave that I may send or be the cause land on. Thus the innocent get hit by the wave. Pain and suffering..cause and effect..I better stop. This is really a good post for thinking..I know we could all share more but I will stop rambling for now.. Deep Thoughts....Cant help but think of the old Sat Night Live and their Deep Thoughts section..LOL!:) Here's waves of hugs to ya!
