Disagreeing

Protest, demonstrations, the right to assemble. Rather it be the pipe line in South Dakota, or in the streets across other cities protesting the election or black lives matter. We might not agree with forward progress or the results of a election, or if it is in regards to police brutality.  We as Americans have the right to demonstrate what we believe in, or what we stand against.  Even with in our own families we  disagree on diffrent issues, we engage in dialog debating on our own views on current events.  We live in a country were we can voice our views without persecution from the government and we should not be little one anouther because we disagree. We are divided in many issues we can all agree on that.  Some believe in the right of progress for the benefit of the greater good, some believe in protecting what is theirs  fighting to keep it as it has been for hundreds of years. Some believe they were cheated and their freedoms taken away, while others view their freedoms being protected and restored. We need to show compassion, exhibit understanding and patience when dealing with people of different views. We need to come together as Americans agreeing that we don't see everything the same way. We need to learn to compramise when it doesn't go against what God calls sin.  We live in the greatest nation in the world, a shinning light of freedom. But don't use that freedom to harm others or being them down because they view things differently than you.  Show love, have mercy when you engage in a disagreement.
