And the pandemic continues.....
I think we have experienced every emotion possible as this disease has affected a nation. And yet, I still see some good that has come from this. More people are spending time with family, getting out in nature, and digging deep into their faith.
My middle son has joined the National Guard Reserve, my oldest, the police academy. They are taking steps towards their future, and have been inspired to protect their community and their nation. They are taking action! And I couldn't be prouder. They have been taught well, to stand up for what is right, to protect others, and respect this country we are blessed to live in.
If only adults could see.....the social media drama is unnecessary. The bickering and name calling, the division of beliefs, and the out and out hatred....needs to stop. We are in crisis, and the only way to move forward,and survive, is to stand UNITED. What will it take? Another war? Another terrorist attack? What level of chaos are we willing to allow to happen before we get back to the basics?
Treat others as you wish to be treated.
Respect the rights of those around you, not just your own.
Take care of your community.
Do what is right.
It truly isn't that complicated. It takes integrity, honesty, and effort. By the grace of God, we will all come out on the other side of this pandemic, but it starts with you. It starts with me. It starts with two people, with different opinions, to agree to disagree and move on. Move forward. Lobby for change. Whatever you need to do for the good of your community and your country, NOT just yourself. This is a big world, with many beliefs. Last I knew, the freedom to do that is what America was built on. And if we want to continue to enjoy this freedom, we're going to have to make some changes.
Today, it will start with me-loving my neighbor as myself, thinking of others, and doing the right thing, even if I stand alone.
What about you?
What are YOU going to do to bring unity back?
Philippians 4:13 I can do ALL THINGS through Christ, who strengthens me.
