Unfurl–Daily Prompt

I am a patriot.  I love America.  I love that we are a melting pot.  I love the opportunities that are real and possible.  I love our freedoms.  I love it when a person who has lost all from a natural disaster gives God credit for sparing lives.  I love the foundation upon which our country was founded.  I love the checks and  balances upon which our government was founded. I love to see an American flag unfurl.  I love singing the National Anthem (I often choke up!).

I dislike violence.  I dislike divisiveness.  I dislike that in this land there are 20% of our children who go hungry every night.  I dislike the smelly nursing homes many of our seniors have been put in and forgotten.  I dislike that the church has given the government the responsibility of “taking care” of those who need extra assistance.  I dislike the downward spiral of families deeper into poverty.  I dislike that some people think disagreement means hate.

Do I need to go on and on?

Since the tragedy in Virginia, there have been many social media posts for such and so and against such and so.  I have appreciated the following posts that speak to the strength that is within us to rise above disagreements.
