The world was sitting quietly holding their breathes as we all waited on the verdict in the Ferguson case. Tonight, the verdict was read and it is no indictment. We are not here to convince you if the verdict was right or wrong but what we are here to tell you: Ferguson is YOUR community.
The communities in which we live and work are filled with kids, single moms, single dads, and married couples. These communities are as strong as the people that live in them. It is time that we take back our communities.
As a married couple, it is imperative that we begin to share and get involved with what is happening in our communities. In 2014, the communities that we know from our parents day is totally different. The communities now are so distant from knowing and caring for each other that everything is shared online but that is not what YOUR community has to look like
Ferguson is showing us that if the officers and the citizens knew each other and had a mutual interest in keeping their community happy, safe, and unified, we wouldn’t be discussing the need for people to take back their communities.
Where there is no vision, the people perish~ Proverbs 29:18
The marriage unit is the perfect example of influencing the communities in which you life and work. Marriage is where two separate communities (husband and wife) merge and live in harmony but this harmony is only achieved when both communities understand that they are building a bigger community. And to build this community, effective communication, mutual respect, and compromise is needed. This is exactly what our communities need NOW.
It is time that you take back your community because Ferguson is YOUR community.
