Instead of focusing on the hateful, it's time to be grateful to God for our country's veterans who fought for freedom and justice for all. The challenges of 2020 can be used to either distract us by darkness or to shine brighter and grow us in our faith, fortitude, and passion for freedom and justice for all. We choose the latter.
We must be ever-diligent to maintain our perspective to be prayerfully proactive and not fearfully reactive. We must not neglect to still thank God for the blessings of our beautiful country. And we must continue to thank God and thank veterans for our freedoms. Our blood-bought, priceless freedoms...
Fellow Americans, it's our turn to work hard and protect freedom. As President Reagan aptly said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
Now is the time to take action to keep our country free. For inspiration, we encourage you to read the Declaration of Independence this July 4th. Remember our brave Founding Fathers who sacrificed everything and risked their lives to open wide the gate for us to live in freedom. We must never take that for granted.
Today, we also need to remember and honor our present heroes. America's servicemen and women and our honorable veterans deserve recognition. Think about those who served in the past and those who never came home. It's thanks to those brave Americans that we live in freedom today. We're honoring veterans and current servicemen and women through the July 4th Virtual Parade for Heroes Part 2. Please see below for details!
While it's true that there is much to be alarmed about concerning our country's direction, we are not in a panic. We know that God remains on the throne. With Him, all things are possible. Pray and get busy with good actions instead of only having sad reactions!
Psalm 47:8 attests, "God reigns over the nations; God sits upon His holy throne." Yes! God reigns higher than any high-profile official. His Word remains the final word.
May we all say with heartfelt conviction, "In God we trust!"
God bless you always,
