FROM MY HOUSE TO YOURS
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY
AND FOR MY USA FAMILY AND CITIZENS
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Two reasons why the United States is a great nation:
One: Psalm 33:18-20 “Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.”
Two: Genesis 18:18 “…Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him…”
There are other reasons that make USA great in my opinion— the Constitution, the capitalistic economy, justice based on Bible principles, our concern for fellowmen, America’s fervor and energy, the work ethic, public education—but all of these are flawed except to the extent that they are operated “under God.”
Happy 4th Oneta
Thanks, Cookie. That name seems so appropriate today. I can just hear your family calling, “Come here, Cookie,…tell us what this word means?” Are you the family encyclopedia? Of course, that doesn’t fit Cookie, does it? My mind is roaming again. LOL
You are a nut 🥜 🙂
You’re my sister for sure. She agrees with you. I knew you were a smart cookie. Didn’t take you nearly as long to categorize me.
Happy Fourth of July!!!
Thanks, Dawn. Hope you have had a lovely day 😀
I like that you used Independence Day as well as the Fourth of July. I think it helps us remember what the day really is about — and we certainly can use all the help we can get!
Happy Independence Day, Oneta!
Thanks, Linda. Everybody has a 4th of July; not everybody has an Independence Day. We are blessed.
I appreciate from a distance the 4th of July sentiments. My prayer in our 2017 world is that your nation remains with the God revealed in Christ as its covering and never, never, allows inroads from Sharia law. All nations including my beloved Australia will be independent only if God is central to ALL we live for…..not our governments, our leaders etc etc. but only GOD. Happy memories of 4th July 2017 to you.
You are exactly right.
I hope you had a good 4th
Thank you. We went to a friend’s house where people ate, of course, then had a choice of swimming outside or staying to for “entertainment;” I was a presenter on the “entertainment” end. I had a good time and my audience did to – I think. Had audience participation where I tossed out questions such as “Did you ever play hooky from school?” Then those who did held up hands; I chose one to tell his/her story.” Great ice breaker. Then I used a post from here “A woman, a boy, a dress, and me” as a oral presentation. Did you have a difference in your day?
