HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!
I love this country. I really do. I think as a nation, we are forgetting that our forefathers established this as ONE NATION UNDER GOD. Politics have vered dramatically from their originally simple mission of protecting the rights and freedoms of our people and have become a complicated game of popularity - a game with no rules and really, no winner. The men and women who lead our great nation are, for the most part, not the "voice of the people" but the voice of those people who talk the loudest and the most impressively. But I think that America is still good at the core - that we as a nation are incredibly blessed, and there ain't no doubt, I love this land.
God Bless the USA!
George Washington's prayer for our country:
“Almighty God, who has given us this good land for our heritage, we humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will.
“Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning and pure manners.
“Save us from violence, discord and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way.
“Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought out of many kindreds and tongues.
“Endue with the spirit of wisdom those whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be peace and justice at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth.
“In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail.
“All of which we ask through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.”
