I went to the store to pick up something, and while I was there two women started asking how the other one was. The conversation went into money struggles and they stated that they had called the cable company and were left on hold or sent overseas to people who can't understand them. Both of these women were involved in the Church, which they also mention. I said to them, all these companies have plans that can help them to reduce or change their plans or payment, find another vendor.
What I heard back is I don't have the time, patience, or want to be bothered. I remind them that the cost of making the call, to the money involved, outweighs not making the call (asking (GOD help to get someone that can help me) before you/they call to the companies. I also explained, since the virus these companies have had to make arrangements. One because without people they have no business.
Businesses are run by people, not the business owners or management. We always have a choice. (Why do people leave businesses for money and the treatment of.) When we stop caring about people, or it become more about money, then we get what get. You get cheap labor, then you get cheap products or crappy food, things that don't last, because it is cheaper to make crap because it feeds others' pockets, not yours and forced in buy crap for trash, to have buy again, and again. (our grandparents or great-grandparents, did not buy for the sake of buying. It served as a need first.) But just look at the program running, that it going make you happy.
I asked if they had children or grandchildren to help change from a television to an internet base, as in streaming, to help brainstorm alternatives. At one point, one woman said well my husband watches the Phillies and I said there is always the old hand radio. They said I remember those days. I was told by them, that my children, or grandchildren are too busy with school or work. ( did they really ask them.) Afterward, I realized that nothing was going to help. I left the store. I could talk until I was blue in the face. I wish them a good day and to consider what I said.
Now here is the good part, both these women were involved with the church. Beyond all the religious context, most believe in a higher power, or faith, or a God, call it what like, makes no difference to me. So here is my thought, we pray for people, the world, or situations, when did it become that you can't ask God to help you with finding answers to paying the bills, or help even getting a person on the phone that can help you? When or where does it say "No, in any religion, that it is the only answer?
We live in a time when people want to take everything from us, including our faith. Yet, we have to be open to answers. Now I gave this information to these two women, most likely, that they had been asking for help. But when I offered several solutions to their problem. I was faced with excuses, as to why they could not do it. When you are not listening for answers. God will send people, messages, whatever means to get the answer to you and if you are not open to it, or refusing it, he can not help you with it, unless you state: send it to me in a way that I can understand. (There soul lessons that would alter this, but that is another story)
I left and asked for assistance for these two women, it was a reminder to me, Faith is an inward expression. And I am sure many times, I was like these two women and was not listening to my own guidance or intuition, to solve something. There are 35 references to intuition in the bible. I am not pushing the bible, or any text, because I, myself have not read it, completely, but I believe in God, or in faith that something greater is the creator of all things.
God and Faith are not in a book. WE are the children of God whether you are infant to an elderly. Have you ever ask God, who am I to you?
