While sitting in the parking lot at Southeastern Community College, I happen to notice seven children blissfully playing outside at the childcare center. These sweet babies were every color of the human rainbow and took such care to include each other in their activities.
One child was off to the side raking his hands through the sand, and a little girl ran to him, offered her hand, and brought him back into the fold. What a beautiful place this world would be if we all had the mentality of this precious bunch.
We as Americans have been excluded in the decisions made by the current administration. I don’t think they have any plans to bring us back into their bubble, making the divide between citizens and federal government even larger.
Current events from Ukraine have saddened us and made us open our wallets and our hearts to a country in such desperate need. It’s too bad that the folks in the White House don’t believe that their own countrymen deserve as much compassion as we everyday people are giving to those across the way.
Gas prices and energy costs are on the rise. Other countries are pleading to the president to let them aid us in our endeavor, but his answer is for us to purchase electric cars instead of being fossil fuel dependent as a whole. I guess we can all just opt to sit in a home with the lights on and starve to death. I’ve never heard of a train, semi-truck, boat, or tractor that comes with an extension cord.
Inflation rates are the highest that they have been since 1982. We could plead with the administration to print more money and raise minimum wage, but then we would be in the same state as the country of Venezuela. The money is so worthless there it’s being thrown in the streets. Grocery store shelves are empty, and the emptiness is being filled with the only thing available: bottles of ketchup. Sounds awful familiar, doesn’t it?
I could go on and on about the rest of the country’s problems, but they say for all the bad in your life, someone has it worse. For the most part, this is certainly true.
I just wish the current president would end the great divide, take Americans by the hand, and bring us back into the fold no matter our differences.
They instead seem to be on the swing set while the rest of us are off to the side, running our fingers through the sand, and coming up empty.
1 Peter 1 6-7: In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
