Happy Emanicipation Day!!!
Thought for Today:
HAPPY EMANCIPATION DAY!!!
Keep In Your Heart The Blood
Remember always the glory days,
the dances, the songs, the chants, the rituals, the customs, the people.
Remember times in beautiful Africa, your people.
From green forests, golden deserts,
to the deepest, darkest regions of Congo and Virunga.
Hear, here in this land.
Hear always in your heart the beating of drums,
the ancient customs of the Kagani.
Remember always the kings and queens,
Tutankhamen, Cleopatra.
But do not sit and not remember the dark days.
Keep In Your Heart The Blood.
Blood spilled by those who fought for freedom.
The blood of the slave as the whip touches the flesh.
Do not be enslaved, be now empowered.
Feel it, taste it, drink it.
Gather it in buckets, bathe in it.
Bathe your children in it.
Keep In Your Heart The Blood

"We ought and indeed are obligated [as those in debt] to give thanks always
to God for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith is growing
exceedingly and the love of every one of you each toward the others is
increasing and abounds. And this is a cause of our mentioning you with
pride among the churches (assemblies) of God for your steadfastness (your
unflinching endurance and patience) and your firm faith in the midst of all
the persecutions and crushing distresses and afflictions under which you are
holding up." II Thessalonians 1:3-4 AMP
