From My Mom’s Perspective

My children are important to me. I can’t let life go by with them around me. These are times I want to cry. To think my children aren’t going to have their rights given by God by the time these political wars end. To live in a nation in which I moved to escape physical hurt, where discrimination is somehow legal. Tears my soul to see a nation that was established for freedom turn into a nation of unfairness and despise. I want to do something to speak with a person who can carry the message to the president but to not speak the language they will never hear me. All I can do is encourage my daughters and sons to become involved and speak out to society about these things that tear soul and kill life. I sometimes ask where is God in these times, but I stop myself. God gave me my children. God gave me life. God gave me courage and a voice.
