I am not so sure how and where to begin. It seams like time is repeating itself. Way back 1945 after WW 2 everything was destroyed and people had to put there life’s back together again. There was a shortage of about everything. Building material was almost non-existing and the lines to buy food where very long. People lived in poverty for so many years. But People stayed in there own countries worked hard to build it back up. It was a hard life. Except the people with enough money left there homeland to find a new home in the USA or somewhere else. Germany was divided and East Germany became property of the the communistic regime.
My family lived under the communist regime. If anyone thinks socialism or communism is a way to live, I got news for them, it is NOT. Life was hard and promises where never kept. Everyone had to get use to empty stores.
There was a waiting list to buy material for just about everything. If you need to replace a window or had to fix things on your home, WAITING LIST! People had to stay in line to buy food if it was even available. Medicine? Forget it; you could not get it. If you where lucky enough to own a farm, guess what, it didn’t belong to you anymore. You worked for the government on your own farm. There was even a long waiting list if you want to buy a car, that is if you had the money. Many Years of waiting for that. Most people did not earn enough to afford that luxury.
Restaurants – there again most people didn’t had the money to go but if they did there was no choice of a selection. What ever was available at the market for that day that was on the menu; one Dinner. It could have been a bowl of soup or on a another day maybe potatoes with a hamburger patty whatever was available.
The infrastructures where falling apart. No repairs on buildings or streets. Up to this day you still can see the ruins empty and deserted, becoming a reminder of the horror that happened there 70 years ago. The Government was the only one profiting from all of that. What happened to the money and where did it go? That’s a question I am not able to answer. I have my thoughts but I choose not too think about it.
It hurts my heart to see the USA hurting like it is right now. One side is fighting for prosperity and the other for socialism. The inner cities are burning and people getting killed, for what? God created us all, red yellow black and white we are precious in his sight. I didn’t choose to be white or black or what ever color, we are ALL created equal. God know us before we where born. I didn’t choose to live in war times but it happens and we all got through with Gods help. We will get through this again too. There isn’t a new beginning of 2020 but there is a new beginning within US. Hate doesn’t heal . The whole world is hurting. I use to ask who is behind all this? I am not asking anymore, we all know the answer. We need to get back to ONE NATION UNDER GOD, to respect and love one another.
This is what’s on my heart today.
I will never keel and ask for forgivenesses because of my color, neither will I expect anyone else to do that because of there color! The only one I will ever kneel before is my Lord and Savior and I ask him for forgiveness because I am a sinner.
