On Facebook and in the news this morning there are numerous comments about how President Obama is going on vacation instead of to Arlington Cemetery for the annual Memorial Day commemoration of our fallen soldiers. But this blog isn't about whether he should or shouldn't go, it's about the anger and hate I heard in the commentaries about this situation. We often are a culture of seeing the bad not the good. We are often a nation of judgment not forgiveness. Yet deep within every human being is God. And if we are made in the image and likeness of God then God is there even in the least of our brothers. Let us remember what it says in 1 Corinthians 13 "4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." So on this weekend when we honor the brave men and women who fought and died for our country, let's really honor them by showing love to everyone........even to the ones we disagree with.
