I had the best laugh of the day! " ... I'm gonna mail all of my files from my stalker to Kamala and the new task force Epidemic of Hate ..." I can't wait! I have (6) banker's boxes and a won court case to show our vice-president of the United States! Exxageration AGAIN at its best but this is the normal. Of course, it is beneath her to write the whole truth!
Kamela Harris annouces laugh of White House 'task force' to stop online 'gendered disinformation' abuse. The new White House task force will 'address online harassment, abuse and disinformation campaigns targeting women and LGBTQI+ individuals. I am sure that our situation not is defined under this new task force and their parameters but HEY! I have to give her credit for trying!
The definition of an epidemic is affecting or tending to affect a disproportionately large number of individuals within a population, community, or region at the same time. I guess that's what she is trying for but think what would happen if she created an epidemic of love!
Life is full of people who rub us the wrong way. Whether it's within our family, workplace, church, or community, we've all encountered at least one person who drives us absolutely crazy. Maybe they say sly insults, tell bad jokes, or invade our personal space. Whatever their annoying or hurtful habits are, our spirits are dampened and flustered by their presence in our lives.
As Christians, how do we cope with difficult people? Christ calls us to love selflessly and ceaselessly. So are we just supposed to force a smile and fake a laugh, while inside we're cringing or crying or wanting to flee? How can we possibly be genuine with all these negative emotions broiling just beneath the surface? We can't do it on our own. Our broken, sinful hearts aren't capable of scraping together nearly enough love to cover the foibles and flaws of our fellow humans. We occasionally have trouble loving even those who are dearest to us. So often, our feeble, fleeting attempts at love fall flat and our patience runs dry.
The only true source of compassion, strength, and love is God. If we embrace and rely completely on God's love and forgiveness for us, we can then draw from his infinite provision and begin to love others more fervently and sincerely. Knowing the hardships in someone's life can give you an entirely new perspective and understanding of their personality. Dealing out judgment comes so easily to us, especially when we are leveling it at someone who makes our lives miserable. But if we remember that they, too, have felt the sting of injustice, the burden of anxiety, and the ache of emptiness, perhaps we won't be so quick to feel anger and annoyance. I try to remember that her life is difficult and her outburts could be out of frustration. So I will keep on praying for her and wishing her well.
