Happy Birthday, America!

Even though sometimes we fear our freedoms are vanishing, we're still thankful for what we do have:

enjoying our friendships together and simple activities
praying together
sharing
the right to choose where, how, when, and if we worship

traveling when and where
opportunities to be what we want
choosing our own companions
plenty of food and a house to live in

Thank you God for America.


Blessings

Sunday Morning Peace



It takes awhile to grasp that not all failures are self-imposed,
the result of ignorance, carelessness, or inexperience.

It takes awhile to grasp that a garden isn't a testing ground for character
and to stop asking,

"What did I do wrong?"


Maybe nothing.

--Eleanor Perenyi, Green Thoughts, 1981

Blessings!
