Flags are flying, fireworks are lighting up the heavens, families are gathering together, the grills are filled to capacity with hotdogs, hamburgers and chicken!
What a wonderful day it is as we take time to reflect upon our founding fathers who paid a tremendous price to give us the freedoms we still enjoy today. It makes me want to lift my voice and sing ---
"God Bless America! Land that I love! Stand beside her and guide her through the night with a Light from above! From the mountains to the prairies; to the oceans white with foam!
God Bless America! My Home, sweet Home!"
Tonight when we return to our homes after a wonderful day of food, fellowship, fireworks and family, may we pause and thank God again for the freedoms we enjoy today and remember this little poem from the pen of Helen Steiner Rice:
"AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL" -- May it always stay that way
But to keep 'OLD GLORY' flying there's a price that we must pay. . .
For everything worth having demands work and sacrifice,
And Freedom is a Gift from God that commands the highest price
For all our wealth and progress are worthless as can be
Without the FAITH that made us great and kept Our Country Free!"
