We should accept this gift in the spirit in which it has been given. "Give as if receiving, Receive as if giving. In this way both giver and receiver are honored."
Amen! The government of Afghanistan has given from the heart. In that part of the world, when someone offers a gift, you reach out with both hands to accept with gratitude. I was in Uzbekistan and heard tales of Afghan hospitality to Americans.
Let us accept with thanks this gift from our new ally.
Thank you, Afghanistan!
