#Peace and unity

[rapha-reads]

I don't remember the last time a song left me silently crying and staring at my screen blindly, stunned and moved beyond words.

I'm (re)discovering Dimash's works, especially his most recent songs, and I am. I don't even have the words? Between Dimash's out of this world vocals and the pure emotion in his voice, the powerful lyrics and the cinematography and art of the video... Why does he not have a billion views?

WE'RE CHOOSING LIFE

"Dialogue, understanding and the widespread promotion of a culture of tolerance, acceptance of others and of living together peacefully would contribute significantly to reducing many economic, social, political and environmental problems that weigh so heavily on a large part of humanity"

Remembrance Day: Honouring the Sacrifice and Resilience of Heroes

Shaina Tranquilino

November 11, 2023

As we approach November 11th, our hearts collectively turn to pay tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. Remembrance Day is an occasion that allows us to reflect upon the valour, resilience, and unwavering spirit exhibited by countless heroes throughout history. On this solemn day, let us come together as a nation to remember these extraordinary men and women and express our gratitude for their immeasurable contributions.

1. A Historical Perspective:

Remembrance Day holds its roots in the armistice signed between Germany and Allied forces on November 11, 1918, effectively ending World War I. Originally known as Armistice Day, it was officially renamed Remembrance Day after World War II to honour all military personnel who lost their lives in conflicts worldwide.

2. Symbolism and Traditions:

The red poppy flower has become synonymous with Remembrance Day due to Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae's poignant poem "In Flanders Fields." Wearing a poppy serves as a powerful symbol of remembrance and solidarity with those who served or continue to serve.

Additionally, two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. on November 11th mark the moment when hostilities ceased during World War I – a time for collective reflection and respect for fallen heroes.

3. Paying Tribute: The Importance of Remembering:

Remembrance Day is not just about honouring past sacrifices; it is also an opportunity for us to acknowledge the ongoing dedication of servicemen and women around the world. Their commitment ensures our safety, freedom, and peace while reminding us of the cost involved.

By actively engaging in remembrance ceremonies, visiting war memorials, or even participating virtually through various initiatives, we can demonstrate our gratitude towards those who selflessly put themselves in harm's way.

4. Teaching Future Generations:

As time passes, it becomes even more crucial to educate younger generations about the significance of Remembrance Day. The sacrifices made by our predecessors should not fade into oblivion but instead serve as a reminder of the importance of peace, unity, and global cooperation.

Through educational programs, storytelling, or visiting historical sites, we can instill in children an understanding of the price paid for the freedom they enjoy today – nurturing empathy and fostering appreciation for those who served.

5. Beyond Borders: A Global Perspective:

Remembrance Day is observed worldwide, extending beyond national boundaries. It serves as a unifying force that transcends language, culture, and politics. Regardless of where we are from or what conflicts have shaped our countries' histories, honouring fallen heroes reminds us of our common humanity and shared responsibility to strive for lasting peace.

Remembrance Day stands as a poignant reminder of the bravery displayed by countless soldiers and civilians throughout history. This solemn occasion allows us to honour their sacrifice while acknowledging the ongoing efforts towards building a world free from conflict. By participating in remembrance ceremonies and teaching future generations about the importance of gratitude and perseverance, we ensure that their stories live on forever.

So this November 11th, let us stand united in silence and reflection, remembering with utmost reverence those who fought valiantly for a brighter future – inspiring us all to be better stewards of peace.

When we put country before party, we vote for a future that benefits all of us. Let’s make the right choice this November.

If you’re a Christian, this is also about putting God before party and before a man. Trump is no Godly man. Liz Cheney is very much pro life, but the healthy way to reduce abortions is not to create dystopian laws. These are laws that force victims of rape and incest to carry a child. These laws also inhibit care for partial miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, and other medically necessary abortions.

Conservative Christians, we can elect Kamala Harris and advocate for taking rapists accountable, enhanced access to comprehensive sex education, access to birth control, and a better adoption system. Kamala Harris has already promised to enhance the child tax credit and reduce the cost of living so less mothers will feel they can’t care for a child. You can be deeply religious and pro life and still vote for Kamala and stop Trump.
