The Message:
I passed around a photo I had taken several years back of what looked like a hundred or so people waiting at a checkpoint to enter into the Gaza Strip. In speaking with some of those who were waiting in line, I had learned that they had been there waiting for days – Egyptian authorities wanted them out (they are refugees) and the Israelis didn’t want them in. The short of it was that these individuals waiting in line were stateless Palestinians; they had no citizenship, no passport.
I, on the other hand, had a passport – an American passport – and I simply walked passed all of those people and walked right through the border and was able to visit my family. It was definitely one of the more challenging things I’ve ever had to do, for in that moment I felt incredibly thankful to be American but also sad that those standing in line weren’t so privileged at birth. With that said, the message was to encourage us to take a short moment to reflect on how fortunate we are to be American and to be thankful for those who have afforded such fortune to us.
Spork closed us out in prayer.
