We all have duties to perform in our marriage, our job or simply for the greater good. We do so for reasons of chivalry and goodness that are now emerging to shape up today’s standards. The greatest need is to our Creator, who gave us a life on this earth plane and gave us the abilities to carry out our duties for the greater good. We do this not for positive rewards, although we are rewarded according to Spiritual Law, but simply because they are the right thing to do. We are all given a choice of right or wrong and indeed we have the right to choose our pathway in life according to our own desires and inner wishes, but we do them solely as duty demands.
Then it is because duty demands them to obtain the highest degree of accomplishment possible. Recently an honorable man passed from this earthly plane. He had given loyalty and support to his wife, Queen Elizabeth II for 73 years of marriage and allowing her to be supported and strengthened by his unselfishness and loyalty. He did so because it was his duty as he saw it. He had no official work and simply acted in this way was to allow his wife to carry out her duties as Queen, supported and strengthened by the Prince Philip, who hardly ever left her side.
He died just a couple of months before his one hundredth Birthday. He had led a life of duty to the Queen and to this Kingdom. To list his accomplishments would only be a boring exercise but to know that he gave his time on this earth plane for God and country and should be honored for his many successes as father and consort to his wife without any thought of reward, except to always do what he considered best.
To have such loyalty and to be certain that he was doing things correctly was a mighty reason for him to be granted such a loving and productive life. Both he and his wife were blessed with a rich religious faith. It would have helped to sustain them in difficult times. Their lives contained many tragedies that they had to bear. The privilege of their wealth and their position did nothing to take away the emotional hardships that were thrust upon them. God rewards us for all that we do for the greater good, but we have to do our duty and, through loving and being loved, we must go through the pain as well.
