Chaplain's
Corner There is a song that has been playing over and over in my head this past week. It's from a group called Sanctus Real. The first part is of a family that the dad thinks they look okay on the outside, but really they are needing someone to be a leader, someone to advocate for them, someone to show love and strength. They need someone who is unselfish about personal time and personal wants and who will nurture the family. Are we not called to do the same &endash; to nurture not only our own families, but that of our Legion families as well? We need to look past our own agendas to make sure that others' needs are met, whether that means a giving time to voice concerns during the meetings, helping with the Post upkeep, making sure older members have a ride to the grocery or to the polls. We need to be strong when others are not. This does not mean that our will must be done and theirs is overlooked. Being strong can sometimes mean stepping aside so that someone else can have a chance to step forward. Being strong means to put others before ourselves. However, we do not need to go it alone because God is waiting on us to call upon His strength, so we don't need to be strong on our own. I will conclude by quoting the last part of the
song "Lead Me" by Sanctus Real. |
