What makes us a nation
with diversity, sharing and welcoming others from multicultural
background ?
I enjoy this diversity of
a people of different origins and background because we share our cultures in
our communities, finding out about what they eat, their faiths,how
they dress, what kind of entertainment they like, what is their type
of decor,what arts do they perform and a lot more.
What I enjoy where I live,
you can try different types of meals in many cultural restaurants.
You can eat Chinese, Portuguese, Haitian, Mexican, Latino, Lebanese,
Italian, Greek, Arabian, Asian, and lots of different foods. You can
buy most of their products offered in our grocery stores, where we
have displays of tasting the goods provided from these different
ethnic backgrounds. In the summer time we have also festivals
dedicated to all different cultures where we are entertained, dance,
their arts and more.
We all are have our
differences in our ideas or cultures but when combined it makes it
worth the while to listen and to be attentive to what they have to
offer. When you listen to their history with all the baggage they
carry in the circumstances that they had to endure, where some had to
go through so much tribulations before they entered our countries. I
as witness to some new immigrants that I met, I know from an
individual point of view, we do get along, it is not religion of the
individual that we should separate us from dialogue, because they all
teach about respect to one another with the theme of loving your neighbor as yourself. We all know of one and the same God, that is
above all and watches over us.He loves us all equal, we are all His
children. He will never abandon His own.
We are the lands of milk
and honey that God gave us that we all share it with our brothers and
sisters, instead of being selfish to grab it all. Remember when we
lend a hand to one another we get it back in a thousand folds. Love
is pure and generous without the expectations of getting back from
whom we were given from. It is in the Mighty Power of God's Hand to
deliver us the blessings as He wishes. It always depends on if the
Gifts we ask we are able to handle it. It is like us humans, we know
what our child needs we do not give them stones when they ask for
bread or even better, we know what is best for our children. Remember
watch what you ask for, you may regret what is given that is hard to
handle within our strength, unless we pray and ask for His courage
and strength to be able to grow with it because it is a blessing for
us to learn from our experiences.
Sometimes, I wonder why so
much good stuff going on in a peaceful way, when there is so much
wars around us ? They are trying to break us off and destroying our
essence of existence that God had intended for all of us to live in
peace, unity, and love. Remember, we are different like many types of
flowers growing in the same garden. This is what makes it diversity,
challenging, interchanging our cultures with love, respect and
dignity to one another. Remember, lots innocent people are dieing
needlessly everyday because of power controllers worldwide. God wants
peace to all mankind. Let's work together in bringing it fruitful so
that everyone will live without famine, humanitarian and war crisis
that is presently going around us, like in Africa and other countries
at stake.
