Wax On, Wax Off

What is going on? I am surrounded by family and friends who are suffering deep anguish by means of various personal circumstances. The intricate mechanics of our hearts require the gentlest of handling. But, how can I support the people I love so much with compassion and sympathy while I know full well that their pain stems from lies? We have accepted false assumptions about our conditions and immersed ourselves in an illusion of imperfection. I and my peers are wholly emotionally invested in the happiness and well-being of our children and family members. We are certain catastrophe is moments away unless we intervene. False, fraudulent, don't buy it, no way. The Truth is, the Plan is good. We are not perfect, but God is. Adversity is education, whether it is your lesson or theirs (often times, it is both). If only I could channel my inner Mr. Miyagi. Find the appropriate tools and stand back while my 'student' learns what to do with them. I am actually panic-stricken as I write this. The last thing I want is to shrug off problems that are very real to the people I care most about. Moments of doubt are inevitable in the course of our existence, but an abiding awareness of God's perfect plan ensures an abundance of peace, and even joy.
