Are you stuck?

Are you stuck in a particular situation that you seemingly can't get out of ?
Like in:
- an abusive relationship?
- some debts?
- at your parents because you can't pay rent?
- in an uncomfortable spot, country, job?

My advice to you is an advice I have given to myself.  You have to be patient and maybe even eat some humble pie which is hard to do.  Waiting is hard all the time for me never mind in hard times.

The important thing is to never give up but at the same time to take steps within yourself to make changes.

In certain situation, it is even for the sake of your mental well-being to seek help from social services that are available in your community.  First of all though, I would seek God's help first, he always comes through and sometimes he uses people like you and me.

I know some of these situations I mentioned above are very unpleasant because I have experienced it myself.

The word of encouragement for all through all these situations that you are stuck in is this:

                   Wait! Because your moment(s) has not come yet!

Don't just wait but take action to improve what you are going through with some help.

Don't think your way is the only way to do something.  Be open to others' ideas, they might have the answer to your need.

Humble pie is best eaten fresh out of the oven - learn your lesson quickly.  There is a lesson to learn in every stuck-in situation.  Believe me!

                                   
                                           Looking Over the Fence

Bernard Demaere

 

There is a small yard

Over there.

Dandelion are its crop

Weeds and thorns.

But look over yonder,

Look over the fence.

There is a tree,

And a field.

Yes, just a fence.

Is it in your mind?

Is it in your heart?

A pathway to cross?

So simple yet so hard,

Look! It’s only a fence.

Use your imagination,

And you will be free.

Look over there.

The birds are singing,

The river is flowing,

The wind is blowing.

                                   There is a treasure hiding,

For you, to find.

It’s a mystery for your mind.

The Power of Fathers

Fathers are valuable beings in children's formation not just the mothers. They set the right values in a home and the standards of moral.  They are much needed. I am glad I had a dad and when I look around I am glad my dad stack around all his life.  So many fathers have left the coop for whatever reason.  I can honestly say that it hurts my heart to see single mothers looking after their children without a father. My dad was dedicated to his family and we always had food on the table. He had to be very busy because of his business in body shop and that I miss, the interaction with him on the emotional level.  I think maybe my children missed that too.  I urge every father to be there for their children, not just physically but emotionally.  It will save them a lot of regrets and sorrow later. I wish all the fathers out there a wonderful day with their family whether you are in a country that celebrates Father's day or not.   Here is a poem that descri...

Imaginary Imagery

So many times I wonder how what I read in people's faces or even in my own thoughts is actually what really happens. Am I really mad for the right reason or is it all in my imagination. What about you?  Are you really seeing what you are supposed to see or you have to reconsider something? Maybe you missed something in the context of what they were saying. Do we understand everyone perfectly?  Do we communicate perfectly? Let's revaluate!  Give them another chance. Say no to that divorce or that fight. Is it worth it? Here is a poem about Imagination: Imagination Bernard Demaere   Image, Aviation, Imagination. The bird flew from the cage. Freedom took wings, To worlds of dreams. Making anything Into something. A bird can be caged, A cage, a bird, Have your heard? The bird, When he flew, From the cage, High above. Above your neck, That’s your head, He never came back, Till he found something, In the worlds of dreams, In ...
