 I want to take some time to be thanful for a few things but I want to shed some reality on a few things at the same time.

First, we can be thankful that America is the kind of place that a Black man is just as able to be president as a white men. However, let’s not be naïve and say that racism is gone in America. Racism still exists and there were probaby racists who did and din’t vote for Obama. And while I’m talking about it, racism and hatred aren’t cured by education but by love. You don’t just tell someone they’re a racist and they go “Oh we didn’t know”. Racism comes from bad experiences being blamed on the wrong thing and from hatred being taught. People don’t suddenly wake up from that kind of stuff they have to experience love and it’s really only God’s love that can heal that kind of pain and division.

Second, we can be thankful that not another major terrorist attack has occurred in the United States since 9/11. And for all  the people that think 9/11 was an inside job, do you think London, Madrid and Mumbai were inside jobs too?

Third, we can be thanful that we don’t live in a country where we have to be afraid of dozens of rockets hitting us every day.

 Lastly we can be thanful for God’s providence in giving us such a great and free country and that we have the natural protection of two huge oceans on either side of us.
