The importance of highlighting the good around us
America is good but not perfect.
The noise of the naysayers and the volume of information with a game called blame and a laziness in chaos creates a mist in the eyes hindering what is before us. God is at work in America.
“Love where you live” coined by Andy Setiawan and The First Assembly Church is a prime example of what is right in America. The uniter of a nation is built on love. Good will is at work in America.
Just to listen at the reports coming out of Texas in the weather-related chaos is amazing. Sharing food, water, wood and even taking into the homes are a perfect example of the good in America. Good people live in America.
With humility, I join with others saying, “I’m proud to be an American.”
A shout out to Jan Swoope for writing in The Dispatch what is “good in America.”
First Assembly Church keep up the “good” in America.
God Bless America
