Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith
In reply to the discussion: Did anyone else find themselves praying night and day for DEMs to hold onto our Democracy? [View all]TigressDem
(5,126 posts)Kids might want to eat only candy all day long, but a parent knows that isn't healthy, so kids don't get that from a loving parent.
AND when one prays to God for ONLY SELFISH needs or to put others DOWN, that isn't a sincere prayer.
MOST of the time I think about God as having a larger viewpoint and knowing a tad bit more than I ever could about how it all fits together.
Honestly, I will pray, "THY will be done, but if you're taking suggestions....."
AND we on Earth are the hands and feet of God in action. Being a Christian as I read it, is about keeping your own nose clean and leaving judgement up to God. Being there for others and doing what you can to make the World a better place.
SO a lot of my respect goes to every person who put themselves in the line of fire.
EVERY DEMOCRATIC Candidate who supports our rights to vote. (DINOs working against us don't count)
EVERY Poll Worker who has faced the fact or possibility of death threats and getting belittled for doing the hands on work of DEMOCRACY.
EVERY DEM who voted.
EVERY DEM who door knocked.
EVERY DEM who donated to keep our candidates in the races.
EVERY DEM who shouted our message from the rooftops or social media.
HARD TIMES SUCK.
BUT character is built during these kinds of trying circumstances and people can become the best version of themselves.
FUNNY. I never look at my own stats.
I don't post a lot, but I did recently have the hope to build bridges between Christian and the A&A's.
I can't control how you guys react, but I try to simply plead for basic respect of each other.
MAYBE some day I will actually be heard in that light.
