Happy Birthday America!

I was just thinking about a quote I read by Thomas Jefferson.  The quote was as follows - "A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government."  I'm thinking that Thomas Jefferson might not think that we have such a good government right about now.

My birthday present for America is to pray for her, love her, stand beside her, bless her, and pray that God would open the eyes of our hearts.  I pray that we would once again be "one nation under God".  I pray for peace on earth, and good will to ALL men. 

The best way for America to find this peace is for each individual to find the peace that passes all understanding for themselves.  This peace lies within each one of us.  It is in the place where Christ Jesus abides.  It is Christ in us the hope of glory!

Happy Birthday America!  I hope you all had a blessed 4th!

    Hi Brenda,

    We attended a wonderful worship service yesterday. They had a 3 minute video clip of writings from the founding fathers of our country. No commentary, no nothing...just their own words and their commitment to Christ was unmistakeable. I think you are right...they would not be too happy with the state of our government right now. I am agreeing with you in prayer for our nation.(BTW, my husband loved what you had to say in your last blog and so did I.)
