Good Morning, God,
The question was asked the other day, "Are Dubois County Residents with German Roots, Especially Young People, Losing Interest in Their Heritage? Some People Think So." The news went on to show and tell about our German heritage in Dubois County.
Gracious God, indeed you have made us to value from where we have come. We may say that all of us are related, even if we have to go all the way back to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden!
Unfortunately, we may be losing interest in our heritage, because to celebrate our heritage means to set ourselves apart from those who aren't like us. Then to its worst, this can lead to serious discrimination.
But, Lord, may we celebrate the history, the background, the "heritage" of each person, rejoicing in the best and forgiving the worst and enjoying the variety that each person brings to our lives.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
