also wanted to share a lil story:
While my sisters and I were there, we had to pray ASR prayer - our afternoon prayer- so we just chose a lil part of the sidewalk that didn't look like if we prayed there we would be stopping anyone from going where they need to be. So we start praying - the three of us- and people started to notice & actually respectfully made sure not to walk directly in front of us. Just wanted to share that.
Also on our route home, we seemed a bit confused & some ladies asked if we needed help. Kindness everywhere. That's the America I know.
Also, a reporter with BuzzFeed asked me for any thoughts I had- I told her we don't have to look far to see how we should react to refugees- Canada is showing us the response we SHOULD have.
Last thing, so my sister was telling the reporter as you see he does not represent America, and gestured towards the crowd. To which I then said, well he didn't get the majority vote now did he?
Seeing all of this restores my faith in humanity. I am so glad we have people believing in the right things. This was such a lovely post to read.
ReplyDeleteIt was really heartwarming to see so many people joined together, as was one of the slogans chanted: They come for one of us, they come for all of us.
DeleteThank you so much for reading!
