Last night, President Trump accepted the nomination for President of the United States by the Republican National Committee. While the whole convention was a beautiful and powerful display of patriotism and support of our military, the icing on the cake was the fireworks display after the President's acceptance speech outside the White House. How they were able to spell out Trump in fireworks is beyond me. It lasted a split second and you almost didn't believe it happened...here and gone.
But not gone, the show of love and support for our country by each speaker throughout the week, not gone their support for our citizens who yearn for freedom, peace and safety. I was so proud of every speaker featured for they spoke of their love for America and desire to see each person flourish and see their dreams fulfilled...because their dreams had been fulfilled...from Alice Johnson, who spoke of her journey from drugs to prison to pardon by Trump to Jon Ponder, a former inmate who now supports other inmates as they transition back into society, to the first black attorney general of Kentucky Daniel Cameron who made sure the Democrats knew the Black people can make up their own minds, to Sister Dede Byrne who spoke of Trump's unflagging support of the unborn to Madison Cawthorn, the young man in a wheel chair now running for Congress in North Carolina...he stood up from his wheel chair with the aid of arm supports...to stand up for America. Wow, it was so moving to see such great Americans be the champion of Trump because he is the champion of Americans.
Many veterans and police officials were asked to speak at the Convention as well as many women. All were well spoken, and had their own story to tell...so you didn't feel like you were listening to hackneyed politicians but rather friends, family and neighbors who had something special to share.
We now start the path to Election Day. We need peace in the land. We need love and acceptance. We need hope and a future worth looking forward to. I read this verse the other day that reminded me of the good news...that we are in good hands.
"And the government shall be upon his shoulders. And he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end." Isaiah 9:6
