John 8:36
I thank God that we live in a free Nation. Though there are many things about our Country and our government that I do not agree with, we are blessed that we can publically speak our mind without fear of torture, jail time or even murder.
Many times I think the Untied States are taken for granted. Sadly, by us, the natural born citizens of this great Nation.
I was just notified the other day that a family from our Church and school have been deported from this great Nation. As the Mother came into my office just yesterday, on the eve of this great holiday, she shared with me her storey of trying to become legal in this Nation. As she spoke, tears streamed from both of us. Just the other day I was all in a wad over something that happened to my daughter. It was so silly and yet I took it so hard and it affected me for 2 days. After listening to this Mother, my pity party was that, pitiful. What was I thinking??
Nothing prepared me for this parent conversation. So today I sit excited about going to the beach to watch the fireworks tonight and waiting patiently for my husband to wake up so we can go off to a 4th party wondering what this family is thinking about this very moment. Country-less, no place to call home.
