We all have our ways to celebrate the 4th, but this year with it falling on Sunday, it has taken a whole new dimension for me. I have always listened to and sung along with the patriotic songs that honor our great nation but until today ,listening to them sung by our church praise and worship group, I really heard them in a whole new way. The song " America The Beautiful" [one of my favorites] started and I was singing along ,as always,and the words America America GOD shed his grace on thee brought me to tears. Do we really understand what this means? GOD shed his grace on thee. Have we forgotten that we are a Christian Nation and our founding fathers were christian? The Declaration of Independence ,which every thing our country is based upon, was based on the Bible and its teaching. We are endowed by our Creator to certain inalienable rights among them are LIFE,LIBERTY and THE PURSUIT of HAPPINESS.
We have the right to life, and life should be treasured and honored.
We have the right to liberty,and our liberty should not be taken away by an oppressive government that thinks they know better than we do how we should live our lives and raise our families.
We have the right to the pursuit of happiness, which means no government oversite should tell us how much money we make or how we should spend.
We are the greatest nation in the world, and I for one am sick and tired of people in power apologizing to other countries as if they are ashammed of my country! If you do not love this great Republic then go somewhere and find a country that you do love because too many brave men and women have fought and died to keep MY COUNTRY free !
God has blessed this nation and now it is time for this nation to bless God!I will continue to pray for this great nation and it's leaders. I will also pray for the brave men and women that are fighting here and in foreign counties to keep us free, giving me the right to express my views without fear of retribution.
GOD has truely shed his grace on America.
