God Bless America

Happy Independence Day folks! I love America and the history of our leaders joining together to write the Declaration of Independence. The commitment to leadership and to each other and the reliance on God is a beautiful thing. The words that end the document: "And for support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor" speak of the kind of people that understood and respected a moral code of ethics that was promised in word and deed. Our country's freedom was established by kind people who felt we should have the rights to Life and Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. We were not built on anger or laziness or self-serving values, but on attitudes of charity and work. We are a nation of inventions and dreams and hope and love, a nation that values community and commitment, a nation that freely worships the God of all Gods. We are people who unite together not only to celebrate victories but also to help the lost or lonely. We are proud and strong and with the protection of Divine Providence, we have the ability to spread the love of Christ to all nations. God Bless America!
