Crossroads Church Of God had special prayer this morning. Ben S. will be leaving tomorrow, going to another post. As his Family remains we will hold them up in prayerful support. Hoping for safety for Him and those he leaves for us to care and watch over.
This morning I reflected on the word 'Patriotism'. Remembering back to before 9/11. When a co-worker remarked about a Red/White & Blue, stars and bars shirt I was wearing. He told me because of the way this country had treated His people (being African-American), he just felt no loyalty to this land.
On that horrible day 9/11, we reported to our graveyard shift. He immediately came to me. Telling me how wrong he was. He said, "I didn't know I was Patriotic....not until they (enemy) came to my backyard."
I am PATRIOTIC.
I am one who loves my country.
No .... I've never worn a uniform. But do feel in a small way that I have sacrificed part of myself, for my country. Being separated from my Daughter and her Family for most of the last 20+ years. Now that's my sacrifice.
GOD BLESS YOU, BEN S. & FAMILY
