Election Day

I am praying for this great nation that we live in. It is a wonderful and historic day and whatever the outcome, I am asking God to pour out his blessings and favor on the United States of America. I am praying that he would allow us all to come together - this great melting pot - to overcome partisan politics and petty arguing.
Our nation is singular in it's history of freedom and democracy - a light shining in the darkness of dictatorships and despots - terrorists and tyrants. Truly the greatest Land of Opportunity in the world - look at all the immigrants trying to get here. They can see what so many of us take for granted. I don't believe in ethno-centricity and I am in awe of the diverse and beautiful world our Creator has fashioned. I love to learn about and visit other lands and cultures. BUT I think we here in the US need to remember and be proud of our great heritage. I am tired of hearing nothing but criticisms and complaints about this country. I'd like to see her citizens roll up their sleeves and really WORK to make this nation great again. We are all talk and no ACTION. We are in danger of forgetting who we are and what we stand for. In all our differences - we must still be able to come together to focus on our common purpose and our common love of freedom and love of our country. The world can not afford for the United States to falter. They need our light to continue to shine brightly and NOT to fade away. LJC
