As an Enneagram Four, I long to be understood. Part of that includes how I want my feelings for people of other colors, races, and nationalities to be understood (and not judged – ha!). When I say I’d like our country to get back to the founding truths, I’m not ever saying I want to return to all the ways of that time period (and later), meaning slavery. My desire is to have our government leaders stick to our original constitutional laws. A nation under God … with equality for all. All! Yes, including all races and religions. We are a melting pot of peoples from all over the world. Our constitutional laws were divinely inspired and created, I believe, to preserve our nation. God held us in His hand for national blessing for so long! Is that over? Wow, I digress, sorry….

I love meeting new people, even those from other countries (and all colors)! It is so interesting to learn about other cultures and celebrate the differences (and sometimes laugh together about those differences). Why can’t we keep our sense of humor these days instead of often (too often) relying on a sense of defensiveness and/or anger? Through my cancer journey, God shows me daily that it’s all about His love. Everything comes down to that. Thanks again, Lisa, for a fun Friday with friends! 🙂

Identifying our current state while recognizing the good that has happened and the direction we are headed is key!
