Today, I turn 50 years old. I have endeavored that I will do something good for someone else today to celebrate my birthday and the milestone of living half of my allotted mortal life. In actuality, most of my life is probably over in the grand scheme of Gods plan, but I wont focus on that today.
I believe in my heart that God calls upon all of us to show charity to one another...this includes showing charity to ALL human beings and not just some of them. My religion teaches charity and I believe it to be an act God desires of us all.
I try to live my life as I do because I am a man who believes in peace , justice , humility, respect, and service to others above my self. I am by no means perfect and I fail in everyday life.
I try always to live a life of charity by specifically showing others compassion and love. If you show compassion and love to your fellow man...(women included) then you show Gods goodness in your own heart and your life is so much fuller and joyous. Is this not what we are called to do whether you are Christian, Jew, Buddist, Muslim or otherwise? Is it not the right thing to do even if you have no faith or religious inclinations ???
Today, no matter who you are, or where you are...try doing one good deed for another person...just one small act of service above yourself...you will find your day to be rewarding and happy.
In the words of my beloved Papa, Pope Benedict 16th, "I am but a humble worker in the Lords Vineyard and I am comforted by the fact that the Lord knows how to work and act even with insufficient instruments" .
I am nothing , without God who strengthens me. I love you all my friends from around the world. The internet is a blessing and a way of connecting souls who would have otherwise never have met.
I hope I have many more years on the earth, but it is Gods will, not my will be done.
