Knowing I'm going to probably get a lot of comments on this one, I feel the need to express my feelings about my country, America. Please know that o understand not everyone is going to agree with me and that's perfectly okay. The main thing is I really don't want to debate anyone, but would like you to comment what your personal feelings are about your country. Whether it be Ameeica or some place different as I know not all my reads are in America. Even if you live in a different country and would like to make a comment about America that's totally okay to. I truly believe that each and every person has a right to their own opinion even if it differs from my own. So, let me get started...
Being born in a time when things were a whole lot simpler, makes today's America a hard place to look at sometimes. It is so heart breaking to see people out of work, homeless and living from day to day. You don't see children out playing like they did when I was growing up. The younger generations seem to act as if they are entitled to something. And I say something about these things because I am hoping that you, as an American, will wake up and see what is happening to our country.
On this day, Independence Day, let us remember what our forefathers built this great nation on. They put their trust in God and set in place declarations, pledges, and a system of government that seems to be so totally different to what we have today. The government is suppose to work for the people, be our voice, represent our interest and ideas not their own.
Have you ever stopped to think about how much just one of our government officials makes? Or just how many get the same amount of pay for life that they are making when they retire if they ever retire? Now it seems to me that they, the government, now 'tells' us what and how to do?
Folks let me tell you now, THAT IS NOT HOW OUR GOVERNEMENT IS SUPPOSE TO WORK'!!!
We, and our country, need to put God back into 'God bless America'. Because if we don't get back to the way our forefathers decided how this country is to be run, well I'm afraid that we will continue on this downhill spiral and there will be plenty of bumps in our way.
I pray that each and everyone of you remember why we celebrate, a great nation, land of folks that were God fearing, and that had great respect for themselves, their new found country and God.
And remember the ones that have given their blood, sweat and tears are the ones that have made this great nation what it is today. Plus the ones that are still giving their blood, sweat and tears to keep this nation protected from those that want to do us harm.
So, may I just say 'Happy 4th of July' to you all. Stay safe out and about cause there are so many on vacation, on the roads. May you and yours be blessed...
