For this brief moment, I don't care about your political views. I don't even care about my own. This is a rare picture that speaks volumes about our country.
We live in a nation where power is handed over from one person/party to the next based on the will of the people. This even happens at the highest level of our government. It can be traced back to our very first President before there even was a such thing as a President of the United States.
On December 12, 1783 after leading our new country to victory in the Revolutionary War, General George Washington respectfully retired and went back to work on his estate. Our French allies could not believe what had happened and it left an indelible mark on human history. Of course, later on George Washington became our first President in 1789 and then retired that position after two terms in office.
What we may take for granted was considered truly remarkable when it first happened and there are still places in the world today where power is not willingly forfeited.
Pray for your country.
Pray for your President*
*or your Prime Minister (for my one Canadian reader)
