Healing a Nation

Even in death former President Ford continues to be a healing balm to the nation. His funeral was an instrument that drew leaders together in dignified respect to the office of the President. I saw sparks of patriotism ignited by anthems, uniforms and flags. Certainly God was glorified in prayer, hymns and Scripture. Honestly, the proceedings left me feeling as though I been to worship. In an atmosphere full of reflection and honor, I didn’t have to look for God amongst video clips and loud redundant music. The service was choreographed to lay the President to rest, but I think those privileged to watch the proceedings are the one’s who have found rest.
