This morning my heart is full of praise and thanksgiving to my Heavenly Father as I think of His great mercies and kindness extended to our beloved nation, and I want to sing --
"God bless America! Land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her; through the night with a light from above" --
And then, maybe you would like to join me in singing:
"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!"
And as we go through the day, let us meditate on these "Three Things" by an unknown author:
"I know three things must ever be, to keep a nation strong and free.
One is a hearthstone, bright and clear with busy, happy loved ones near.
One is a ready heart and hand to love and serve and keep the land.
One is a worn and beaten way to where the people go to pray.
So long as these are kept alive, nation and people will survive.
Dear God, keep them always everywhere --
The hearth, the flag, the place of prayer!" Amen!
