Tulelake, CA— True Friendship even with a language barrier.
I spent yesterday evening with a very special friend of mine, Jose. I have known him for a very long time. Even though I do not speak Spanish very well, he does not speak English very well. But I take time to get to know him as he has me. He has a very BIG good heart, maybe you should learn from him as an example on how you should treat others, instead of loathing others for your faults and despising them for being someone you wish you could be more like, rather than the sad person you are inside and out.
He and I were spending time together across the street from Jock’s and some time when you have a moment you should introduce your self to him. He is very good person and works for a very good boss that helps to supply YOU with some of the things You buy in markets across the United States of America.
Maybe not at the local Super Market in Tulelake, CA known as Jock’s, but for other markets in many other areas around this country. I was sitting with him, when his great boss drove up with his wife and got out and dropped off and handed a big bonus check for this hard working man, that works not only hard for his boss, but for YOU, doing some very hard work that some people feel it is below their standard of work to do.
I am proud of this hard working man and you should be too and take the time to shake his hand and tell him, "thank you" for all the hard work he does for all of US, YOU AND ME!
The City of Tulelake is so divided, not only politically; but also racially and it needs to stop. We all live here from all races, walks of life. No one is better than anyone else, just because of his or her status in life. Even Jesus was homeless and walked among the less fortunate. Are you better than Jesus? I think, not!
You have no idea what a person’s life is like, until you have walked in their shoes for a while. Try being homeless on the streets and then come back and share your story of what it is like to have nothing and have people look down on you, as you do not deserve to have a life at all, a life they take for granted and think they are above you.
No one is above anyone in this life, we all are the same and created by one Creator to treat your neighbors as you would want to treat your self and stop the nick picking that goes on daily in this town. We are all made from the same Creator and inside no matter which race we are, our blood that runs through our veins is still red. We all breath the same air to stay alive and if you have the power within yourself to Create the Heavens and Earth, be sure and let me know when that is possible?
Otherwise, it is time you start acting like a real human being with compassion for others for the shoes they ware, that you would not make it day, if the roles were reversed. Be thankful each and everyday for what you have and what you have been blessed with and stop trying to be someone or something you are not. Look hard and long in that mirror and see the real person you would like others to see you as, not the one that you think you are, by going out of your way to hurt others, because you are ashamed they might find out the real truth about who you are.
Instead of trying to stop them from telling the truth, try getting down on your knees and ask God to forgive you and ask him to make you a better person, than the phony person you want others to believe you are, which is nothing or no one special as you seem to think you are and above others.
God is no respecter of a person and he sees us as we are, not as you would like others to think you are when you are nothing or not what you seem to think you are in front of others. God knows the real you and you cannot hide that "Fact", from God, no matter how hard you try. God sees all.
God give us all free will, start using it for his benefit and purpose that He gave life to you to have, not for you to try and destroy others who might be telling you, the truth, you have been unable to face; because no one stood up and told you like it is, until now, the truth about YOU.
I invited my good friend to my house, I even walked him home to make sure he made it OK without judging him for how he chooses to live his life and the same should be said about you. Take responsibility for your actions and stop blaming others for your faults, the ones you have, that you do not want anyone to know about, but God does and you cannot hide it from God. No matter how hard you may try, as he is the Creator of us all and He is in charge, not YOU…
