Unacceptable

Who are we

to say that anything

in God's world

is unacceptable??

A Higher Power

created this world

exactly the way it is

and our opinion

is of little significance.

The sun will rise,

the tides will turn,

and people will be people.

The only unacceptable thing that I can change is my behavior and my attitude.

"Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation;
it does not mean running away from the struggle.
On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes,
with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering,
of psychological complexes and injustices."    ~ Paul Tournier

There are three guarantees in life; death, unacceptable childish behaviors and taxes.

As unacceptable as death may be to us we must accept that it is inevitable.
We mourn for those whom we loved that have died, we collect their strength
and add it to ours to make us stronger and better able to do the will of our Higher Power.
Have faith, a Higher Power assures us that no spirit departs this world without having
made the world we live in a better place.

"That is the definition of faith -
acceptance of that which we imagine to be true,
that which we cannot prove."                                ~ Dan Brown

Children learn their behaviors from the examples they see. If your child's behaviors
are unacceptable, improve the examples that they see. To have children cooperate
with you use words that are acceptable, such as "I love you," "Please," Thank you,"
and "How can we make this better for everyone."

Children are innocent until you make them wrong.

"Seeing people as innocent is the greatest gift
you can give another human being:
the gift of acceptance."      ~  Rhonda Britten

The last unacceptable guarantee is taxes. When people find things unacceptable
they ask for change. Does having a different leader using different words to describe
the same issues constitute change? We should never have left a Higher Power out of
our schools or out of our government.

"Accept the place the divine providence has
found for you, the society of your contemporaries,
the connection of events."                           ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today, point out the unacceptable.
Today, do not get angry, ask politely for change.
Today, do something, but do not rely on your neighbor to grieve for your loss,
raise your children or pay your taxes.

"Happiness can exist only in acceptance."     ~ George Orwell


Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
