Yesterday as I listened to many different speeches by Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr , they all centered around love, because love is the only answer to our woes.
The secret to this love is how we define it… this love is the forever kind… not subject to a shallow hug … followed by ” a walk on by” while quickly dismissing it from our day.
Instead this love must be deep and enduring… loving the other person for who they are… a child of God and loved by Him as He loves us. This kind of love calls for tolerance … and discovering we share more in common ( when we take time to get to know each other) than differences.
… Because if we are to keep our democracy in tact….it is up to us ” We the People” to represent the symbol of what equal opportunities and freedom means …we are the monarch of democracy… the country others still flee to … leaving behind homes and history and even life in hopes that their children will have opportunities that were closed to them. We humans all want only the best for our children… a similarity all families can relate to…
” What the World Needs Now is Love Sweet Love… it’s the only thing that there’s just too little of… not just for some but everyone!”
So until tomorrow …
Mollie called and brought Lachlan and Eloise by… and then graciously took me to Publix! All needed and appreciated!
A day filled with Mollie and grandchildren, Tommy and Pip and Mandy and John … with scrumptious food left ( chili) by John… you my friends see a blessed woman surrounded by love of family… the gift from God!!!
