I'm sitting here tonight watching the news. There is story after story of anger, lost lives, people on the streets, people without food... It goes on and on. I read posts on FB about politics. Everybody seems to have an opinion. Everyone seems to know exactly what's right for everyone else. I hear speeches on TV, both passionate, but so opposite of each other. I hear people shouting from the rooftops what they believe, but yet they get offended when someone does the same if they don't agree with it. So as I wonder where we are going, and think about the future my kids will have. I pray that somehow we all find the peace we are looking for. That we appreciate the opportunity to voice our opinion and respect the opinions of others. That we are vocal, yet peaceful. That we realize that people are fighting right now for the freedom to do what we do, say what we feel, and live how we choose to live. That we choose love over hate. That we give more than we take. That we profess our faith as passionately as we profess our politics and opinions. I pray that amidst all the chaos that is around us that we see the blessings that surround us. In all the speeches, rants, debates I am reminded of a quote that today seems to fit... Only if you want it to.
"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."- Abraham Lincoln
Believe in the Unbelievable that is YOU and have a blessed weekend!
