As the United States of America stands poised and at the threshold of change, I watch the streaming images on television with awe!
It is really a mighty moment in history when one man stands there, as an icon for history that has been re-written. One man who represents all those dreams - dreams people both young and old never deemed possible!
Wow! I was thrilled not for the change itself or because I route for this man, but for the possibility. I'm thrilled at the possibility of a far fetched dream coming true! The limitless, endless possibilities!!! I'm not ashamed to say I cry as I watch it...
I wonder what he would be feeling - what kind of responsibility he thinks he would be inheriting...
It thrills me no end to write this as a moment in history is in the making...and I write as it unfolds...and I post this at 9:01 AM!
His family, his children, his friends - how proud they would be of being associated with him!
When I see and feel this moment, my mind also forces itself to think about some people I knew and have been let down by, in the recent past - how would these people look into the eyes of their families, the eyes of their children. Will they ever be proud? Maybe they will be - they could be proud of cheating people, and letting people who trusted and believed in them down - which probably they could explain to their children as a great strategy to life!
I don't grudge them anything except forgiveness. God be with them!
But, I wish this positive change and this man of integrity the very best for all times to come!
