Happy Fourth Of July
This is a rerun from 2010. I have just changed the wording a little.The principle of our republic is based on God given rights! Understand, that if America loses God...we lose those rights.
I am proud of the the USA. Look at any country (or person) closely enough and you will see faults. But there's an overwhelming amount to be proud of...not ashamed of.
So this coming Thursday...Happy birthday America!!!! Know that you are still loved!
God bless the USA!
2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Please take a minute and listen to this song.
In God We Still Trust
What a heartwarming post, Dean. I look forward to these. I blasted the song up high and got teary. We are so blessed. America - warts and all - is still THE BEST! I love the bible quotation. Thank you and Bless YOU and your family. Enjoy the 4th.
ReplyDeleteYour thoughtful comment warmed my heart when I read it, Julie!
DeleteWe don't have to apologize for our pride in our great country.
Wonderful post Dean. We all need to remember that the Fourth has meaning, not just another holiday for fireworks and partying.
ReplyDeleteHi, Lokelani...Amen to what you said!
DeleteThanks for reminding us once again to be Thankful.
ReplyDeleteAs a country, we have to be careful not to drift away from the meaning.
DeleteI can always count on you, Dean, to post something beautiful for the 4th of July. Wonderful paintings ---Have a wonderful holiday.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Celeste.....Hope your Fourth was happy and safe.
DeleteA beautiful post, Dean, and beautiful paintings to go with the words of the heart.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Dean!... Happy Fourth to "You" and all of our American Blogging Friends!
ReplyDeleteYour blog continually reinforces a sense of gratitude and respect for Faith... and the Right to Happiness! I always look forward to my visits and our sharings!
There exists no need for "Best" in my vocabulary... even in describing my own country. The more meaningful word "Blessed"... which ironically sounds a lot like best... keeps coming to the fore and we are indeed blessed... both of us... across two borders! May it always remain so!
God bless America and all of her people on this special day! Happy Independence Day Dean!
Good Painting!
Warmest regards,
Bruce
