Sometimes - It's best to simply say THANK YOU!!!!!

I did not put a Hillary sticker on my car for concerns that my car would be egged or the tires flatten. West Virginia is full of deployables. My strategy was to support the state and local less controversial candidates who will ultimately have more influence than POTUS regardless.

I find it amusing that some folks are trying to put a political spin on the recent natural disasters. I don't care about a person's color, religion, culture or politics - I just want them safe. I donated $$$$$ to the Church that sheltered my Texas cousin. She voted for Trump. I don't care, I just want her and her four to be safe and they are. I didn't even ask the black mother in Florida who she voted for when I sent her money. I wanted her and her to be safe and they are.

Last year we had our own natural disaster in West Virginia. My neighbor were Trump supporters but they needed food, cleaning supplies, and water. It became my mission to get it for them. I was at a church loading up supplies in my car. There was a truck with a Trump Sticker. The redneck driving the truck was also loading up supplies to deliver to those in need.

My Mission suddenly became easier - when a group of folks from the United Church of God from Marshall County, West Virginia drove into the parking lot. They quickly and efficiently delivered cases of water to everyone. I have a sneaking suspicion that none of these folks had a "Hillary for President" sticker on their cars. I simply said "Thank You!" and gave them a High Five on FB.

Don't be confused by words from a minority. Trust your own eyes and your own ears.

America is not right and left, America is not black and white and brown, America is not the coasts and rural areas, America is not the South and the North.

America is Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma... To see , to hear and to feel.
America puts away it's toys, put a halt to the game, when confronted with a "natural disaster".

I have seen it throughout my life. I have seen that America. That is my America.

And so it is... That I hoped for a Trump's election
I had hoped that "natural disaster". would allows US to put away our toys, and put a halt to that game..

What you describe is the way our country used to be, and to great extent still is in the area where we live. Political and social differences were not dividers, they were just facts of life..... unimportant in the great scheme of it.
We were taught that working hard to take care of yourself and your family, and being good neighbors was and is the important thing. Giving and helping was a part of life and I am so grateful that we live in an area that still has those values.
It is written that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks...... when I see some of things that are said these days, I see hearts filled with such hate and it is sad..... and in my opinion, a sign of the times in which we are living.
That is why it is so encouraging to see good folks like you, and those that went to Texas and Florida helping others regardless of their ideology.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
