Although everyone is an individual...we are a still a family...

Ernest Shurtleff Holmes

There is a God Power at the center of every man's being, a Presence that knows neither lack, limitation nor fear, sickness, disquiet nor imperfection. This Presence and Power is at the center of all people and all things. But because everyone is an individual, he can build a wall of negative thought between himself and this perfection. This makes it difficult for the true center to come to the surface.

We produce our top leaders from one of the two major parties in our political system. Even the party that wins is not always in agreement with each other. We cannot turn our backs on the other party or other candidates who did not win in an election because we are like a family.

In a family that functions well, there have to be compromise, and naturally sometimes, each person looks for circumstances to go their way. The success of a well functioning family depends on giving and receiving. Mutual respect for differences of opinions are a must, as well as an attitude that the family comes first. There are exceptions and there is much more to a full functional family than described here.

I used this analogy to show, what we, the American citizens have to do to make this country a place where we are productive, prosperous, where we can live together, work together and enjoy being a part of the American Society (USA). It takes respect, compromises, understanding, compassion, respect for differences and a desire to want this country to function well for all of its citizens.

Meditation: contemplate on, I recognize the presence of God. The Power of God is at the center of all people and things. All is well within my soul. Take 3 deep cleansing breaths, go into the silence for at least 3 minutes. Lovely LadyFran
