What Have I Actually Done And What Am I Actually Doing?
It has taken me going to the deepest and ugliest part of myself to actually see the truth of the ugly state of human nature. I have been writing, now, for more than a few years into blogs. I write about different things in my life experience and my hopes and dreams in Service in the Creative Process. But it took a group of blessed Ones in Kenya for me to take a real look at what we really do (what I really do) in life. To look at the reality of outworking that is within the realm of ones control can be a very sobering picture. We see pictures of ones on TV that have nothing to eat and some of us are sometimes moved to give something to the cause. However, later we find out that such a small percentage was actually allocated for that which was advertized that we get sick inside and say to ourselves that we’re never giving to any group again. This is because it has become just another greedy group’s lie – as it pays for some gasoline for someone’s yacht.
Then I thought about the amount of money that different religions boast, be it the rich Catholics at the Vatican or the other ones that also rake in the bucks. How can all of these people that have supposedly given their lives to being in “Service” not have taken care of the multitudes that have so little? I too have been in the “Spiritual” ranks in groupings where we thought we were so enlightened. But, again, no one who was in need in the world got fed from our collective efforts, at least, not enough to even mention.
I can’t live with myself knowing how little that I have actually done. So, finally, I have now vowed to myself to take responsibility for helping a small village in Kenya, East Africa. There are about 15 orphans and others that need some real assistance. I came to know about these precious ones because they read some of my words and responded. They didn’t actually respond for the purpose of looking for help. They simply were grateful for the inspiration of the words. As I got to know two of these precious ones in particular, I came to learn about their lives and what they were working with. For me, this has been a huge wake up call. What is the Lord’s work on earth through each one of us if it’s not to do “our best” to care for each other?
I would bet that if each person who supposedly has an enlightened consciousness actually took ten percent of what they had and gave to those that had nothing, there would be no one (or very few) left without what they need. Will it take having everyone loosing what they have before they realize that something must happen to help those that are in need? Because that is exactly what God will have people facing. It is promised that the meek will inherit the earth. The meek should have it. The meek seem to care a lot more about people than the ones that are so dammed privileged. What do we each have to loose before we find our hearts?
I have taken everything in my life for granted, without exception. I have talked for years about doing great things, but I now realize how little I have done. Well, stay tuned folks – because I am making sure that one little village in Kenya, East Africa, gets what they need to have a healthier life with a little less struggling. I have the feeling that the rest of my life is going to be lived a lot differently. I hope that Spirit is moving the same way right now with others too. Spirit does seem to have a way of working in synchronicity.
I AM going to invite others to also find a way to help the children of different countries that have no other way. I AM going to keep record of our success with the village in Kenya so as to create a model so that other simple ones like me can also try to make a small but good difference. There are ones that have little or nothing right in the same town/area where you probably live too. Can we stop and take a moment out of our busy self-serving lives and offer something right where we are? People feel that God is not real because His enlightened disciples don’t do very much Godly work. That’s why people don’t know God – because of people. God is not found in a book. You can read someone’s perspective about God in a book, but God is found through purposeful action or He is not really found at all. Its not magical words that life needs – it’s just a little bit of deliberate, purposeful and caring action!
