Earlier this month we celebrated Independence Day. Throughout the rest of the month we have experienced all kinds of political upheaval with the Debate, the Assassination Attempt, the RNC Convention and following that came President Biden's decision to withdraw from the Presidential Election coming in November.
No matter what you believe about the politics involved, we need to be in prayer for our Nation.
The United States of America is in my opinion, the greatest nation in the world. No other country gives its citizens the choices that we seem to take for granted. Yet, we have fallen into a time of polarized division about so many things!
We have the FREEDOM to gather and talk about our concerns and ideas. We have the FREEDOM as citizens of this nation to vote for the candidate we think is best for our future. We have the FREEDOM to fund our chosen candidate and to be involved in the process of law making by letting our elected officials know what the constituents want in their districts.
Please don't lose sight of what we have and where we are. We are so blessed to have a voice in our own future. Stop for a moment and pray for our leaders and elected officials as this election process goes forward. Men and women through the centuries have bled and died for this FREEDOM.
We have a choice in how we behave towards each other. We are not enemies; we are citizens of this great nation that have different opinions.... Let's choose to get through this season without more bloodshed. Let's listen to each other and make choices in a few months to keep this nation the best it can be. No matter which side of the aisle you choose, you are still an American!
Americans are stronger together than we can be with all the division going on now. Pray for strength to stand through the season, to love each other because we are each loved by God and to be kind to one another! We have the FREEDOM to do these things because of where we live! Have the courage to live in FREEDOM!
Blessed to live here with you!
