A CELEBRATION OF GOD….JULY 4Th

JULY 4TH….INDEPENDENCE DAY….HOW WONDERFUL IT IS

TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY THAT WAS FOUNDED ON CHRIS-

TIAN PRINCIPLES! HOW WONDERFUL IT IS TO LIVE IN A

COUNTRY THAT TODAY STILL UPHOLDS CHRISTIAN PRIN-

CIPLES AND CELEBRATES “IN GOD WE TRUST!” Our gov-

ernment is founded on “one nation under God.” Our laws

are based on Godly principles. The United States of Amer-

ica promises liberty and justice for all. We are promised

freedom of religion and freedom to worship. We are

promised freedom of the press and the right to express

our opinions. THIS JULY 4TH, WE SHOULD STOP AND

THANK GOD FOR ALL OF OUR FREEDOMS. WE SHOULD

PROMISE OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDREN AND OUR

GRANDCHILDREN TO STAND UP FOR THESE FREEDOMS

AND TO STAND UP FOR GOD. WE SHOULD PROMISE

OURSELVES TO STAND UP FOR OUR COUNTRY!!! Without

God, we would not have our freedoms. Without God, we

are in danger of losing our freedoms and our country. We

have no guarantees on our future. IF WE DON’T STAND

UP FOR GOD AND IF WE DON’T STAND WITH GOD, WE

WILL LOSE IT ALL. LIFE IS FRAGILE. LIBERTY IS FRAGILE.

OUR FREEDOMS ARE FRAGILE. THIS JULY 4TH INDEPEND-

ENCE DAY, LET US PROMISE OURSELVES TO DO BETTER IN

TAKING CARE OF OUR COUNTRY AND OUR LIBERTIES!!

Thank you, Jesus, for loving me. Thank you, God, for lov-

ing me. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for loving me. Thank you

for walking with me always. Amen. ~Jean Gunn, 2013
