just an answer to someone who blamed their attitude on their past...
it was someone else's fault that they were like they were...
and I said...
no...
you are the way you are because you choose to be that way...
we can blame all kinds of things on how we behave, treat others, look at today...
but...
we all need to realize that we are in control of who we are...
how we think, feel and treat others...
we all come from different backgrounds...
some good, some bad...
BUT...
today belongs to us...
and we choose how this day goes...
how we handle today...
God makes us better, no matter what we have been through...
Jesus teaches us to love and have compassion...
like he has love and compassion for us...
we have a teacher who can lead us today...
a savior to bring us through anything that we have gone through...
trust in Him...
and make a change in how you do today...
only you can do it...
be blessed and pray for those who struggle to find their way...
and those who hurt...
it's time we all did better...
I completely agree with this. We are our own selves and what comes out of our mouths is on us. We have the power and understanding to heal ourselves from past wounds..

Yesterday I was talking to my younger grandson. He's in a new school. The usual playground stuff going on. It struck me how helpful it is to quickly come to the understanding you cannot make choices for others but you can for yourself. We have great power given to us by God. Free will. What a waste of life to blame. That's God's deal. It's taken me a long time to learn this. Hopefully my grandson will catch on quicker.
