“Let There Be Pockets”

There must have come a time in the history of our world that God looked upon us and said “something must be done”. The wealthy carry heavy purses about their waists and the poor have none. The poor carry heavy loads like beasts of burden. Fields are toiled and planted through all kinds of difficult climate and weather, mostly by the poor. The wealthy eat better than the poor. “Something must be done.”

I can imagine a decree going out throughout the heavens that said…

“Let there be pockets!”

Now this may sound like a simple, almost child-like solution, but a perfect one, as God does not make mistakes. “Everyone gets pockets on their clothing. The educated, wealthy land barons will surely notice the empty pockets that need to be filled. This will be a gentle reminder to share.”

Perfect.

Pockets can be filled with coins to buy more supplies to contribute to the greater good of the community. Pockets can be filled with implements of education for all. Pockets can be filled with food for one’s self, to bring home to the family, to share with neighbors and the sick. Pockets can be filled with healing herbs and medicine for the sick, usually grown by the poor, for surely even the wealthy get sick too.

Perfect.

And this perfect pocket idea came to be manifested on all the clothing of all the lands.

Perfect.

The seed has been planted and the rest must be watched to see what unfolds. And now God must wait. For God in his/her perfect thought has given us free will and must allow us the time to recognize our own needs and solutions. One day we will all come to recognize that our own needs include our family, neighbors, friends and strangers alike throughout all the lands. 

What a perfect idea, but have we perfected it?

"When the solution is simple, God is answering."
— Albert Einstein

God has answered our needs. It’s our turn to follow through. The question is…how do we fill the pockets with abundance for all? Nobody said it would be easy. It’s a balancing act.
