Just ask

As the sun sets on another quiet day in Kommetjie, we can reflect on the state of the world and collectively apply our minds to a sense of the brotherhood of man prevailing in the end, for what we imagine, will become reality. That really is what it's all about. Negative expectations bring a negative result. We just have to picture a better outcome for it to manifest into our reality.

The sunbird pecking at a last aphid on the hibiscus before settling for the night in the sheltering branches anticipates that tomorrow will bring another flower with nectar and aphids for it to eat. The chickens next door scratching for bugs never give a thought to whether it will be the last one they ever see. The sacred ibis winging their way overhead expect the tree they roost in to still be there tonight and that they will fly this way again tomorrow.

We need to only expect the best. At the moment, everything you see and hear is of death and disaster, and it takes a truly superhuman effort to see past that and look for the good in others. But we all have superhuman capabilities if we just believe in ourselves and the help that is always on hand from our loving Father, in all his representations. We have but to ask.
