Better to be better than to be bitter...???? What If ?

Another week has gone passed....it is unbelievable to me, just how quickly time is moving presently, I have a few thoughts to share today that will keep us all thinking till I blog again next week, I am only blogging weekly now, so I can do all there is to do elsewhere, this week I will be in Perth on holidays and then after that in Brisbane and Sydney (catching up with Chelsea who I miss heaps) and Julies brother in Sydney...it will be good to stop for a bit and reflect.

Often in my life I have found that I have these thoughts which come in and swirl in my head and then I start dreaming about what if...

What if I could get a bunch of houses together and everyone who needs a home could be put into one really cheaply...what if I could do that ?

What about if it could be done without all the mumbo jumbo bureaucratic red tape that other housing projects have ?

What if I could get a wealthy company to support this venture, by giving us the cost of one house to start us off, using that as collateral to get the second etc etc... what if ?

What if people could get high self esteem by finding positive and mutual support in my church, by a church being real in this present world, a Salvo church being a Salvo church by its function and not by its form ( what it does, rather than what it looks like) what if ?

I have many many more what ifs.... but I have discovered these days I am a dreamer, maybe a
visionary...
But I do dream of a better future than what I am already in, a Better Salvation Army, a Better church, a Better world, me being a Better person, a Better christian.... Better not Bitter.... there's no point complaining about how bad some things are, or how hard some things are or how rotten the attitudes of some people can be, that only gets you bitter and twisted, it is better to be better than to be bitter....

What if things were better than they are today ? What if we didn't make those silly mistakes we keep making, doing those habits we keep doing, what if we stopped falling and failing...? well things would be better then.

so...today I will try to be better and not bitter....
today I will keep dreaming of a better day...
tomorrow I will keep dreaming and hoping and praying that my "what ifs" might become "look what's"...

and I intend to holiday hard.... to relax well, and to allow the dreaming to flourish, coz time is moving too quickly and there is so much to do.
