As We All Are

The ending of the movie Stranger in Town

contains a speech with relevant reminders to all of us

all these decades later...

Stranger in Town Final Speech

(click on at 1:50 if you are in a hurry😉)

Politics is a topic that can lead to fiery discussion

and differing opinions!

Pray, more than anything we pray for our leaders

at every level for they are far more than representatives

of a political party.

They are living souls

As we all are!

“There are no ordinary people.

You have never talked with a mere mortal.”

C.S. Lewis

Meanwhile, we all are dearly loved

by the One who made us

'whether little girl with little curl'

or Leader for the better or worse

of the country he/she serves.

Prime-minister/president/political party bashing has never served to build

or heal and though today's voter's options seem sadly lacking

it is not a reflection of one man/one party, but rather of

 the nation's moral compass.

A country is not its prime-minister/president.

It is the people; you, me and every other

extra-ordinary human being we meet on a daily basis!

Deuteronomy 4:7
For what nation is great enough to have a god as near to them 

as the LORD our God is to us whenever we call on Him?

On Monday Canada goes to the polls to vote for Prime-minister

either a new one or more of the same,

but it is a dark time for many voters because

When a nation stops calling on

The One True God

We get what we deserve.

Oh God, help the future of the nations...

...for we are more than flesh and blood,

Than hands and feet

and lovely face

We are the handiwork of God

Therefore no one

is commonplace

All precious in the sight or He

Whether private

or super-star

He created mortality

With tender love

as we all are

Then pray, this common Bond of love

Not hate, advises

And controls

Both citizen and head of state

Are chariots of

deathless souls

Therefore, in spite of all we lack

Not one of us 

are very far

From giving up and giving back

To He who loves

As we all are

Then lest, because of mortal bent

We forget, we should

Think again

Our love for God is evident

by how we love

our fellowman

but we seek the one to come. Heb.13:14
