Hope, Love and a Good Life (Vanity)

I've had an amazing weekend, and I want to share it with you all, that you may derive strength and hope from it.

I've touched a few lives and been touched with an outpouring of love this weekend, and done so in meaningful ways. From my beloved lady, to several very close internet friends, we've had heart-to-heart talks and made some tremendous plans.

America is in grave danger. We stand on the precipice of having one-party rule by the Democrats at a national level. That, coupled with the heinous plans of the Globalist W.E.F. people, scares me greatly. Their plans are, simply put, sinister.

Yet, even with the foreboding background of a looming and dangerous future, we still can make meaningful connections and love one another. We marry, we form dear and lasting friendships, we might even have children... though I have never been blessed in that particular manner.

The politics of this time are dark and frightening. Yet, you can still carve out a wonderful loving live. We are fortunate to be alive, at this time, sharing the beauty we find in one another.

Never forget this, and remember, our time is short. Bring love and beauty to your friends, your family, your loved ones. Bear in mind the warning I one read was on a Roman tomb:

As You Are, I Once Was
As I Am, You Will Be

Keep that in the forefront of your mind, and live each day to your fullest, despite the foolishness of our so-called elected officials. They don't matter, your people do.

I get all choked up at that scene. It’s almost as good as the end of The Dirty Dozen.

“..despite the foolishness of our so-called elected officials. They don’t matter, your people do.”

That’s true to a certain extent, but we must not forget that our current trajectory is dooming our progeny to live under utterly suffocating Soviet-style tyranny. So, unfortunately, our “elected” officials matter. A lot.

[no-to-illegals]

Great Advice. The politicians do not matter; the People matter.

I visited the former Soviet Union in 1998. Even there, what I wrote still stands. They loved one another, sometimes dearly.

Thank you and God bless you, Laz. Very inspirational. I admit that I haven’t been stalking your every post, but the last personal post I recall reading you were struggling in your personal relationships.

Glad to know that we can get through the darker times and emerge on the other side into the light. It gives us all motivation to press on with our own private battles.

“They loved one another, sometimes dearly.”

No doubt. All the while awaiting the dreaded knock on the door.

WOT??!?!

Get to stalking, you!

😊

No doubt. All the while awaiting the dreaded knock on the door.

OTOH, American citizens and their weapons load-out might make the knockers dread knocking. ;^)

[Lazamataz]

It is!

A lovely message for a Sunday morning. We should all be as happy, loving & free as possible within our own spheres of existence. We have to recognize that what’s going on is a spiritual battle, but God wins in the end.

Good words to live by, Laz, THANK YOU! I have concerns in my life, but I also have many blessings. We can’t help but look at what’s wrong in the world, but we should never lose sight of what’s right, especially in our own personal universe. It’s balance. It’s a counterweight, if you will, and it helps keep us sane, I think.
