We’re in this together, for better or worse

0

I thought for sure we would all come out of this pandemic changed people since we had so much time to think about life in a new perspective for the past couple of months.

However, it disturbs me and a lot of others about what else is going on the world, especially in the United States. I guess a lot of people don’t have those same feelings.

Yes, it is very sad what brought some of this on, but life is too short to turn on our own nation as far as looting, riots and protests go.

This is America….so far, the land of the free and the home of the brave.

People need to grow up and value their life and all that we have here. Not all of us are rich and prosperous, but we get by. If we have to change a little bit, we’ll survive. Remember, do unto others as you would want them to do unto you.

Let’s make America even better by being better people from here on out.

I don’t know about you, but I’m putting all of this in God’s hands. He has always taken care of us and He will do it again.
