G’ving Thanks

November 26, 2008

Hopefully you can see the picture above this article in your browser. It shows five ’smiley faces’ on the top of a lamp post, with a gloomy/cloudy day as the backdrop; with the caption “Thanks!”

The cloudy day in the backdrop to me represents the gloomy days of my life. (We all have gloomy days.) The ‘arms’ holding up the smiley faces represents those who have positively impacted my life (my best friends, my Pastor and my parents).

The ’smiley faces’ are as a result of they being in my life. Even on a gloomy/ cloudy day, I am smiling because I have these people in my life.

God is the lamp post; He’s placed these people in my life, each a light in their own way. Even on gloomy days, I can say ‘thanks!’, I can smile!

For this I am thankful. I am thankful for each and every one of them. I am thankful for the good times and with the same breath, I am thankful for the bad times.

With a grateful heart, Thank you.

President Elect Barack H. Obama

My message to the F.R.I.E.N.D.S for Obama Network

I am writing this with my eyelids heavy with tears of joy and with sore fingers from texting the words ‘yes we did’ as I celebrated history in the making last night. F.R.I.E.N.D.S, we did it!  No, we are doing it! Last night a new journey began, a journey that you joined at our launch about 6 months ago as F.R.I.E.N.D.S  for Obama. For your hard work and dedication, I say ‘thank you’.

Senator Obama’s victory (our victory) was not possible without your support, this was not possible without the Change that you Believed in. This was not possible without the Audacity that you had to Hope, to Hope for a better future, to Hope for a better nation.

As we begin this journey, as we work together in the next eight years and beyond to heal this great nation, let us never ever forget the humble beginnings of someone just like you and I who became a community organizer in Chicago and later went on to become the 44th President of the United States. Like him, may you also find empowerment in your Audacity to Hope.

“This victory alone”, Senator Obama said last night, “is not the change we seek; it is only a chance for us to make that change”.  F.R.I.E.N.D.S, yesterday, we shouted ‘yes we can’, today, ‘yes we can’ must be met with ‘yes we will’; yes we will work together to transform this great nation!

God bless you, God bless the United States of America!
