God's heart be my heart

It is in times like this that I am beginning to realize some of the things that we take for granted.
-One man one woman marriage that is sacred, not easy to sustain yet beautiful in its flaws. 
There is no perfect family so who gives the unnatural 'family' the audacity to claim that it will attempt perfection for children and for our society?
No copy of the original will be able to replace it. 
Who wants a fake diamond when the real one is always there? 
You treasure that fake diamond as the real one.
-Each life is precious. 
A life is not precious because it is big, strong, healthy and can contribute to our society. 
All lives start from being unborn (a fertilized egg) and could end at being frail and weak after contributing years of his life to the community. 
Even someone who cannot talk or take care of himself, he is someone's beloved son, brother, uncle, father or grandfather. 
Who are we to decide the life and death of a life given? 
You want that to happen to you?
-Everyone deserves more than a second chance. 
We are ever quick to point the fingers at others' mistakes, magnifying people's mistakes at their expense UNTIL it happens to us. 
Do to others what we want others to do to us. 
Ex-convicts? 
So what? 
You never made a mistake before? 
I tell you, they are more humble and willing to learn than any of us!
-The poor and the lame. 
Handicap defines a person, disability defines an action. 
You wear spectacles? 
Your eyes are unable to see far so you need the help of spectacles. 
You can't walk far or can't walk, you use a wheelchair. 
You have difficulty in making ends meet. 
You just need to either get a skill or find another way to make a living.
The truly poor and lame are those who are able-bodied but CHOOSE to lament, complain, talk non-stop but don't want to lift a finger to help self or others.
Poverty and health are more than skin deep.
