HONORING GOD AND RESPECTING OTHERS, PRACTICALLY (UPDATED 7/24/2013) as well as 3/12/2013 in addition to 8/5 & 11/14/2014 and 10/9/2015!

This material originally added to the post A BADLY SCRIPTED DRAMA, has so much significance that it was decided that it deserved being a post of its own, to avoid loosing the important message contained for application in our daily lives. These questions are routinely asked and about, which many are often confused by "well meaning" types, can hold at their core, the difference between a life that honors God as opposed to one that does not, if swept aside as mere fodder when in a position to act out the relevance of such in our lives. Please follow.

These are the Details of Importance:

The Biblical book of Proverbs chapter 12 if examined in verses 2: points out “a good man obtaineth favor of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn”. Verse 3: points out “a man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.” Verse 4: states “A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.” Verse 5: points out “The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.” Verse 7: states “The wicked are overthrown and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.” Verse 8: also states “A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.” And Verse 9: states “He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.” These verses 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 & 9 were emphasized to remind us that the ways of God are very different from those accepted in most circles as the path to "success" (from man's perspective) as referenced in the discussion on the Google+ Stream regarding relationships, and specifically in the 2nd paragraph, which begins with "The fact that God...". This Biblical approach serves as a reminder that it's always better to do what’s right even when it’s not popular, because it's one of the best paths via, which God is honored and furthermore, by the same token, it demonstrates respect for others. Finally, verse 12 reminds us that such action not only sets us apart from the wicked but it also may be contributing to the establishing of the fruit bearing root previously mentioned in verse 3, that may some day be beneficial to us in ways we may have never imagined. One very important point that must be noted is those who typically meet this criteria will NEVER be recognized by any of this world's "agencies" NOR will such practitioners be promoted in any way by those seeking to pay lip service to such things only as a means of garnering notoriety for some cause "for the cameras" with a hidden agenda as such types will be at odds with those following such a course of action and as a result, won't promote anything that isn't being controlled by them in anyway, unless the will of God is involved.

The Finale:

For example when I took time to entertain my late friend dear Lois in 1973 and on her follow-up visit, it was just my way of showing appreciation to a very outspoken young lady, who, I had just met in the first instance, appreciated that would later blossom into a consistent pen  friendship, and then as a friend over the course of the following years. When I took time off to act as her host when she returned and I had my vehicle, it was to be sure that she would appreciate her visit to the island. Little did I realize it but I would, in a short few years, be journeying to her Country as a student and her family whom she told how much she appreciated what I had done in taking time to show her around, (just on the basis of that one visit to our Chapel Street residence and later exchange of letters, in making her feel more than welcomed in her adopted homeland that they went out of their way to show me the sights of the City I had just relocated too, to pursue my studies as documented in the post THE OUTSPOKEN PEN PAL. WHO BECAME A FRIEND (EDITED W/INSERTS UPDATED AND AMENDED)! and it was obvious that they expected me to stay in touch (see the below photo insert). I was completely surprised, in this strange new land, and it was very much appreciated.
These experiences as well as the documented description of the that unique organ was relayed by me in one of my letters to my late Mother who passed it on to my “brother” (an organist himself) who greatly appreciated the description of the intricacies of that unique musical instrument as my late Mother's related it in her follow-up letters; but it was their way of thanking me for my hospitality to Lois, and her family members were very accommodating to me, especially her Mother, in the first few months in the new Country when it mattered most to me, because they welcomed me to the Country that would become my long-time residence (unknown to me at the time) and it was for that reason that I became very close to that obviously close-knit family. As a result, that is why I would not undertake any action to be disrespectful in anyway to Lois and her by extension her very accommodating family (as the expedient “free loader sympathizer”, Mrs. Rawlins suggested to me) years later. As a result, it's for these reasons that she has been "honored" in the "Conservery Dedication" on the Pages of this Blog to her memory and the call for a champion for honoring her memory for fair treatment highlighted as is due all instead of being treated as she has been, up to the present, namely as never having existed, as documented in the post, THE QUESTION OF THE MONTH'S PREMISE - UPDATED , also see the below *** Footnote.

The Conclusion:
 You can never tell how going out of your way to assist when in a position to do so even if only by not becoming an obstacle to progress may be the centrally important key to a deserving turn-around in ways never imagined; since our actions may be critical to our own well being when it matters most in our own lives. Just by being an obstacle instead of assisting when in a position to do so we could be tampering in the life of another when we have no right to act in such a manner (as pointed out in the post ONE TOO MANY COINCIDENCES - THE FINALE UPDATED (AND EDITED), this is when we start in a "nutshell" to play "god" in another's life by attempting to dictate or take on the mantle of determining the outcomes we think is best for others, which once started can't be stopped (in effect imprisoning these very types to the every action and activity undertaken by one such types obviously concluded would be any easy target (or "scapegoat") for their "fictional" Empire building scheme, which the very early SociAllMedia Issues post THE DANGERS OF LIVING WITH CO-DEPENDENT "VIRTUAL" IDENTITIES pointed out in part. This path should never be undertaken by anyone, regardless of how compelling their case may be. Similarly, my past experiences do not entitle me to manipulate the life of any other to ensure that I am not subjected to the type of wrongs I experienced previously. Experiences correctly employed can be a useful tool if properly utilized as opposed to the former. It is for these reasons (outlined above) that my late dear friend Lois was added to the Conservery Dedication, to honor the part that she (and by extension her family) undertook in my life in part (as well as to another late dear friend who also gave, when it mattered most, in the life of my late Mother as documented in the post THE ACQUAINTANCE WHOSE FRIENDSHIP WAS UNEXPECTEDLY CONSISTENT - THE CONCLUSION (UPDATED W/INSERTS), who together provided the balance needed in the disruption that my study decision resulted in, which represents the perfect example that demonstrates how the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (also known by ONE) works in the lives of His chosen to implement His will, even when they are unaware of each others actions. That is why NOTHING can prevent His will from being carried out as documented in the post NO SITUATION ENACTED (OR CONCOCTED) BY MAN, TAKES GOD BY SURPRISE.


***   Footnote:
In addition, those forgotten "first American" types, such as my dear friend Lois, whose light and cause will continue to shine from the Pages of this Blog, as documented in the C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E-R-Y D-E-D-I-C-A-T-I-O-N because of the gaps that exist in her life due to her untimely demise, only for the factual knowledge she possessed, (now voiceless due to expedient decision-making and man's imperfect law); whose v-o-i-c-e along with that of another, depicted in the D-E-D-I-C-A-T-I-O-N "c-r-y  o-u-t" from their non-existent state, for a champion to have her cause recorded with dignity as all are due, instead of being treated as less than the beasts of the field with no formal recording as if she never existed, even in 21st century America, the land of my adopted residence, which is suppose to represent "freedom" and "bravery", I am sure can do better.
If the cause of the Syrian people can be held up for fair treatment, doesn't the cause of a member of a storied American political family deserve to be held up for decent and better treatment in this "civilized" day and age, instead of being treated similarly to one who in addition to others, was "holed-upsimply poisoned in "cold-blood" and forgotten? What a travesty, this represents for the cause of fairness and justice for A-L-L.

We should always be cognizant of those whom we may mbe in a position to assist and be ready and willing to do so when the opportuniy avails itself even if we are not aware of such. For example, making a pledge to ourselvs to assist someone and choosing a random date of April, 8, 1960 and then committing to assisting anyone we are familiar with whose birthdte falls on that date 9or whatever date is) chosen should be enough to spur us into action to assist one who is so deserving and may be in neeed of assistance. Who knows maybe by our action a future leader or even one who may become instrumental in shaping the life of such an individual may be given root. Therefore, however e choose to practically “honor God and as a by product, respect others practically”, do it unselfishly such as the proposed Program being conceived for students with promise as well as those with special needs for the new Cosvry Investment organization being planned and if you are to receive thanks for such let it be unexpected as did occur when the Chisholm family reciprocatd my treatment of my late dear friend Lois on one her her visits to Barbados, by warmly welcoming me to the Land that would become by adopted Country of residence in 1978 (as documented in this post).
