Happy Independence Day America by Teresa Mathews

America
1776-2013

Many years ago under God’s watchful eye
America was founded by the sacrifice of those who weren’t afraid to die.

The men that wrote the constitution wanted this to be
A country where people could worship God and be free.

This country called America that flies the red, white and blue
Was founded on Religious Freedom for me and for you.

Many have tried to destroy her, from inside and without,
But God has protected her through the years of this there’s no doubt.

Every day that goes by we should say a prayer,
To keep the freedom to worship God in churches everywhere.

Pray that we can keep our freedom to proudly stand and say
“ONE NATION UNDER GOD...." in this beautiful USA!

    1. DIANA thanks!! Hope you get to go to the BBQ today. We were going to see THE LONE RANGER but Carlton had to go into work so I guess I won't be going.

  5. I hope that everyone had a fun, relaxing & safe Fourth of July. Ours was pretty laid back and quite, because "It was a Rainy Day in Georgia..." and many of the fireworks displays were either canceled or postponed. I'm hoping to possibly see some somewhere this weekend--it just didn't seem like the fourth without them.
