Loading ...No matter who gets elected our next President, we are in for rough times ahead. If its Hillary, then the progressive socialist movement will continue to push our Freedoms off the nearest cliff. If by some miracle, and its going to take one, Trump wins, he has a mess to clean up before we begin rebuilding this country. Either way, I can see a whole lot of pain coming down.
And you are exactly right. Gold and Silver but one thing we all need to be stacking. Better be watching out, taking care of, a multitude of items. The check list seems to grow longer by the day. And if I had to put one thing ahead of most others it would be to be nice. Be nice to people around you. Today is a good day to start a program of Random Acts of Kindness. Mow the neighbors grass is he aint feeling so good. Call up an old friend just to check in. A lot of folks are already hurting, its time to be of some help. Besides being the ‘Right Thing’ to do, it will probably pay dividends in the future. One way or another, having friends around us may just make the biggest difference of all. Mind if I tell you a story?
Several years back I gave the fellow from India who runs the local convenience store a silver eagle as a gift to celebrate the birth of his first son. I will never forget the look of surprise on his face. Im not sure if it was because a customer would treat him in that fashion, or if it was the Silver Eagle. And believe me, as all folks from that part of the globe do, what an ounce of silver was. Kinda nice to give a gift to someone who truly appreciates it.
Anyways, a year or two later we had a little problem with the gas and diesel supply in these parts. Nothing like the long lines of the 70’s mind you, but fuel was getting a little sparse. So I pulled in to the store and the owner pulled me off to the side and told me no matter what, he was saving me a hundred gallons of diesel in case I needed it. Even if he had to put a sign up ‘Out of Fuel’ he told me to come on in and he would fill up the truck.
I have yet to place the value of that one particular Silver Dollar. I have a feeling, my remembering the birth of his son, and my small gift of an ounce, may return many, many, times over. Every now and then I like to kid around and I ask him if he is still holding my fuel? His reply is always the same, and said in a most serious way, “Always Mr. Farmboy, always!” You know, I believe him. I believe he is a man of his word. A Single ounce is not a bad price to make a new friend.
Yeah, Rainbow, time is running short I think. Best heed the calls all around us, and start on the checklist. Not just for ourselves, but so we can be in the position to be of help to others. Kinda like a prayer I heard once. ” God bless me with all that I need, and a little extra, so I can help someone else.” Think that embraces a spirit of gratitude that will get us through.
Dang if that aint a pretty good sermon ! Almost feel like passing the collection plate. 🙂
Glad to have you aboard Rainbow and look forward to how you see things. The floor is yours, I will even let you use my soap crate since you made the coffee.
