On Freedom "How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy. " Thomas Jefferson All these cute graphics remind me of how lucky I am to live in America where we have so much freedom. More than any other nation in the world. The thing that makes me sad is that so many of us take for granted all that do we have. And I will be first to admit that I have lived like this form many years. If we have never been without, it is hard to appreciate the many wonderful things we do have. One of the greatest things we still have in America is the freedom to worship our Father in heaven. We still have a public place to go to called the church. We have the freedom to own a Bible. But notice how I say still have. Little by little, the freedoms our country were founded on are disappearing. We can't pray in school anymore they way I use to as a child. In some places, the pledge of alleginace is being omitted. As a child, we were taught all the patriotic songs and we were proud of our country. The Ten Commandments are being removed and along with it the virtues that keep our country moral and ethical. But let us not lose heart. We know what we must do and that is pray for our country. In times of crisis, our country has asked the American people to pray. True freedom of speech allows us to write these things from our heart. Each man and woman will stand before God someday. So when you celebrate this 4th of July, stop and asy a word of thanks as you enjoy your holdiay of fireworkds and fun. May God bless the USA!. This is my quilt square showing my support to the president by praying for him and our country each day. Tap the Square to learn more. I first heard Dennis Agajannian sing the following song] at the Harvest Crusade in Anaheim. I have also heard him sing at my church. He is one of the fastest guitar pickers in the United States, maybe the world! The sound is great and so are the words. Lord, Give Us America Lord, give us America We ask for her by name Lord, give us America Light a fire, fan the flame Send us out to harvest The amber waves of grain Lord, give us America In Jesus' holy name Once a nation under God, so willing to obey Guided and protected by Your hand Now we're like a wayward child who's wandered far away Won't You save this lost and dying land? Father You can heal this land where hearts have turned to stone If we'll only bow and humbly pray For You're the God that set us free and made this land our home And You're still the Lord of liberty today!
