I'd like this Blog to
address what I believe are some really relevant issues and questions in our lives. Questions like
our purpose; Why are we here in the first place? Toward what end? What is happiness? What is it that we value?
Since I am first and foremost a storyteller, sometimes, I'll simply tell a story and encourage
readers to think about the meaning the story has for them.
Finally, I'd like everyone who visits LifeStylings
to leave with something positive and hopefully, some measure of added insight into some of the issues that
impact our lives. I
think it is important to acknowledge that at the end of the day, we're all in this thing called 'life' together. Perhaps,
we can work through some of these issues TOGETHER.

DIVINE GUIDANCE
Recently, in an online forum, the
question was asked if people actually do give money to beggers and homeless people on the street. I was surprised at the many
who responded saying ... "No, seldom if ever. Why would I, when they're just going to spend it on alcohol or
drugs?"
I wondered how anyone could know that for certain. Everyone on the street that's homeless,
or asking for money isn't an addict. Many are, but not all. So, I wondered how would you know the difference. What
defining factor would neatly separate those who really are down on their luck, or suffering from mental illness from
those who would take the money and run to the nearest liquor store or drug dealer?
The answer of course is
... you couldn't really know. You might suspect which was which, but you wouldn't know. Not for sure. So then,
how do you solve the problem?
By listening ... to the Father. Here's how it works for me ... I can
pass someone begging - walk right by sometimes, acknowledge them, but don't feel moved to give them anything. Other
times there is no way I could pass someone asking for money without going in my purse.
The difference
is something inside that moves me to give. I don't arque with it, I don't question it, I just do what I'm
feeling. It's what's referred to as the little voice inside. Of course, there really isn't a voice that's
actually speaking, but it's talking to me, directing me nontheless. All any of us have to do is listen.
If I was closed minded and believed everyone out there that's homeless and begging is simply
out to get as much money from an unsuspecting public as possible, I wouldn't be open to divine guidance.
I wish I could credit my own wisdom for my actions, but I can't; I was placed in a position to learn a valuable
lesson about the destitute ... and believe me I got it. It happened one night in an airport in Atlanta, Georgia.
