To the Editor:
I always ask myself if I am doing enough to help the community of Yorkton. Crime is increasing at alarming rates. There are more kidnappings, murders, stealing, drug dealing and teenagers being involved in underage drinking.
I am a survivor of mental illness, a person who lost two people to suicide. I have been labeled and discriminated by a lot of people.
I grieve for society because I know the people who disobey the law. One day their lives will fall apart. Once their lives are destroyed it's a horrible struggle to put things back together again.
So the question I ask myself everyday is am I witnessing or helping? Do I preach too much? I smile every time I see people walk by me; I also donate money and items to charitable businesses. I am a Sunday school assistant at my church and I am also a writer.
But let's be honest here. I don't have Jesus' job. I can't make people choose to follow the Lord. That's their own personal choice. All I can do is continue to serve Jesus and hope to Jesus I am planting enough seeds so Jesus can welcome that person to his family.
Even thought there is so much I want to say to people, all I can really do is my best and allow Jesus to do the rest.
Stacie Amber McLeod, Yorkton, SK.
