Our Perspective

Yesterday was Mexican!!! Everybody loves Mexican! Happy colors, lively music, tacos, burritos and lots of chips and guacamole! Good, happy, friendly service!

Are you one who came to a foreign land where you hoped to prosper and bring your family along with you? We are all immigrants at some point in our family history, coming to a land we did not know, a language we did not speak, to work we did not have yet…only a future we could behold.

I have traveled a bit to foreign countries. English is my primary language. I have to hand it to those who do not know English yet choose to come and learn our culture, language and dream along with us to have a better future.

It’s not my place to put another down because they are not where I am or speak fully the language I speak. Yes, I want to help and encourage them to become all they hope to become. We all need what each other is able to provide.

Where would America be if she did not have Mexican food and hard working Mexicans serving in every capacity? We are America, the beautiful patchwork of many pieces of fabric…all different textures and colors, making a beautiful nation because of our individual strengths combined.

Think of purebred animals…they tend to be flighty, have health issues and their dispositions are nothing compared to a loving alley cat or plain ole’ mutt dog. Yes, I said we are a hodge-podge nation of some of the best, the strongest, the brightest most loving people in the world.

Let’s stop comparing each other against each other and instead seek and determine how to help and build up each other for our common good!

Remember to view others on their quest the same as you’d want to be seen. Walk a while in another’s shoes.

Be helpful, be extremely thankful, and maybe do Mexican this week! I’ll see you there 🙂
