Blessings.....

Just a reminder to take time today to Thank the maker, of this wonderful land we live in! We truly are blessed and have a great nation to live in! We are blessed beyond our comprehension...God is so good to us!

We should be SO proud of the USA and yet the news tells us not to be?? Take time to reflect on the blessing you personally enjoy...food, home, family, cars, clothes, friends, job......

Also take time to pray for our many troops that are fighting in Iraq to preserve our freedoms. We often have a removed understanding of what they are truly doing over there and how much they sacrifice to stay there. So many of them give up precious time with their wives and children......and even put their lives on the line for us!....AMAZING....when you really stop and think about it!

I'll leave you with these........
Oh! say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.Oh! say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?........

O beautiful for spacious skies,For amber waves of grain,For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain!America! America!God shed His grace on thee,And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!
