LOL - I was thinking very much along those lines myself. How can so many people feel SO much love for ... a man we've never become personal friends with? A work of grace among us, for sure.
Just knowing how much he sacrifices for us endears him to me. And that's just for starters!
A Charge To Keep, indeed.
That's a question I've continued to ask for almost 2 years. What is this special gift that George W. Bush has that makes us (and so many others) feel a personal attachment for, and empathy with him?
What is it that makes us love him so deeply, and care what he is doing, or how he is being treated?
I, for one, have never had this experience before.........but I truly feel that it is spiritual at its core. It is his depth of commitment, his strength and his love for others that make you know that if you were his friend, he would never let you down.
It's part of what makes me keep praying for this dear friend and brother daily.
