A speaker reflects on a violent incident in Boston where a second suspect was caught, praising the police and community response. He urges people to respond with grace, love, and forgiveness rather than retaliation, and to expand their circles of compassion.
Good morning, everyone. Here is your Moment of Yes. Happy Saturday morning to you. Just feeling a sense of gratitude this morning that the situation in Boston, that there was a sense of relief with catching the second suspect last night. And seeing the cheering for the police and seeing the appreciation for all of the effort That people have put into not only on the day of the event, but in just getting to this resolution last night. So I'm feeling a sense of gratitude and appreciation. And so my moment of yes for today is just grace, responding with grace. And I think a lot of times when something tragic happens, especially when it's aggressive and violent and there tends to be an intentional motivation behind it, that our response can often be almost as forceful and as violent. And so thinking today just about the quality of grace and thinking how this is an opportunity for all of us to love more. To appreciate more, to look for ways to expand our circle of comfort, our circle of compassion, to look for ways to include people more, to forgive people more, and so that we are— our response is love. Our response is compassion. Our response is grace for. So that's your moment of yes for today. Respond with grace. Just love. Have a wonderful day, everyone.
