It seems that we all have an air of superstition and personal shame which clouds our overall view of others... Only GOD sees the heart!!

Even in Dixie; people are not always what they first seem...  We all have an air of self preservation; which makes us suspicious of others...  It happens with friends, in families, at work, at school, at church and of course with strangers one and all...

Why I write this is because; based on a person's background; many people never  come to truly trust another human being... We tend to get caught up by the past hurts and actions of others...  I can see painfully this in my own family & friends... We judge!!

Trust must be earned on this earth; according to most people... ( not true) They see almost everything as related to some deed or occurance...  They live based on past experiences; which I understand is most of what we all see or know about most other people... But there is inside of us all; a yearning to seek the better and look for the good in a person... This is what and where we must place our trust...  Trust is like Faith; it exist because of a person's core beliefs

Now I know that many people are deceitful and mean... At times you will be taken back by the dastardly deeds of many; but you should look toward a better day... It is only the memories we take into Eternity; so seek the good... 

Each of us are given  certain opportunities to make the best of life; over come and forgive those who trespass against us...  This one of our main purposes in life... Dare to do some constructive and help someone today... Start with a positive attitude!!

BTW: a personal note:

A  little over a year ago....   Coming from work; one clear, sunny afternoon;  I was just pulling onto the inter state ramp some fifty odd miles from home...  Standing there along side of the road was a  tall older man, dressed in white Bermuda shorts, a white golf shirt, a white cap and had a white back pack; with a sign of an exit I would pass some ten odd miles down the interstate... I seldom ever stop to pick up hikers!!

But this seemed different; I stopped and he got in and said "I knew you would pick me up"  as we went on down the interstate...

  I ask;  "Why he was only going to the exit shown on the sign??"

He replied that he was a messenger of GOD and placed his hand upon my right shoulder...  He then said that he had a message for me and that he would only need the time it took to get to that exit...

He said " I was not to worry and get involved about many of the worldly things..."

"There are more good people with strong spirits, who out number the evil doers..."

"I was suppose to speak to these people; and help others to learn the truth of life and what GOD has planned for them..."

He told me; how he traveled about and delivered messages...  He had just come down from the North Georgia Mountains... He was going down to Macon to deliver a message...  

As we pulled off at the designated exit; He said I could let him off at a World Famous Restaurant, with the golden arches... He said he would wash up and rest  before going on down to Macon... 

I ask if I could take him on down to Macon??

But he replied; " No that this would be fine and that God would provide him a way..."

I ask " where he stayed?? "

He said " under bridges or where ever the Lord directed..." 

As we stopped in the parking lot; and he got out...   I handed $20 to him...

He said that he had no need for money...  

He was clean, his cloths were nice, there was no odor, He was an Angel....

I learned that day, which way, I must put my efforts, and when ask how I am??

 Answer:    

  " I am far better than I deserve to be"  By the Grace of GOD and must try to for fill my calling... To help others placed in my pathway of life..." 

" Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." Hebrews 13: 1 & 2 KJV

I have....  Your blessed servant; Kermit...
