Many Canadians are facing hardships today because of soaring mortgage payments, and rising food prices and transportation costs. The former are accompanied by medical concerns, primarily as a result of the Covid vaccines, employment volatility and the stress of facing a very uncertain world.
Many of us may blame God, even if we have very little to do with Him. But God did not create our problems, we did. We elected a traitor named Trudeau, we opted to receive an unapproved, untested and toxic vaccine, and we are the ones allowing all this economic and financial chaos to manifest in our nation, and abroad. When we stand silent, we have no one but ourselves to blame. We hide the reality of the truth because we fear the consequences of our actions, even if our inaction is crushing us financially, physically and mentally.
People practice exercise regimens, take vitamins, read self-help books and take instruction on how to build wealth, and in the end, accomplish very little. What about resurrecting your soul? If you are old enough to remember family and church, then you might be able to remember that the two together brought about great prosperity and happiness.
If you are Christian and have not visited Jesus for a while, give it a whirl. You might find comfort in the old oak pews, the cross may quietly ease your stress, and the gospel perhaps answer the many questions you may have. You may even encounter an old friend and learn to re-embrace family more than the television set or the computer.
From a personal perspective I really do admire the Filipinos. They came to this country and in many ways emulate what the Italians did long ago. I remember my parents working two to three jobs and never complaining. They accepted all the crappy jobs, attended church and built wealth with the help of their family and community. Today the Filipinos take care of our young, our old and still clean our houses, but they are flourishing because they keep Jesus in their hip pocket.
We've allowed external forces to change our way of life, it's time for a reset.
Merry Christmas
