As we move in to 2018 I have one resolution. It is simply to help find a way to bring our
country together as a nation. Wow, that’s
a big goal, but I cannot think of a better one given the state of our country
today. The divisiveness we are
experiencing, if left to continue, will only serve to weaken us and strengthen
those who would tear us down.
As a first step in a complicated plan I offer this: Let’s all agree that as a nation we have flaws and weaknesses, but let’s also agree we do a lot of things well and have many strengths. If you constantly dwell on the negative and cannot acknowledge the good in something than you are destined to be a miserable and negative person.
I am not so naïve that I cannot see the negativity in this
country, but at the same time I feel our strengths can overcome anything and if
we take off the blinders of our own biased opinions we can be a better nation
for it.
Left, right, black, white, rich, poor all blend together as God’s children. The 2016 Gallop poll showed that over 80% of the people in our great nation had a belief in God. Let’s start there with this commonality of belief and treat each other with respect, because even though we may be divided on politics, immigration, taxes, etc., etc. we are common in our belief of God. So let’s not dwell on the inequalities and failures of the past but rather realize we are more equal now than ever and move forward to champion our success as a nation.
All the best to you and yours in 2018….God Bless and God Inspire.
