“Learn to like what doesn't cost much.
Learn to like reading, conversation, music.
Learn to like plain food, plain service, plain cooking.
Learn to like fields, trees, brooks, hiking, rowing, climbing hills.
Learn to like people, even though some of them may be different...different from you.
Learn to like to work and enjoy the satisfaction doing your job as well as it can be done.
Learn to like the song of birds, the companionship of dogs.
Learn to like gardening, puttering around the house, and fixing things.
Learn to like the sunrise and sunset, the beating of rain on the roof and windows, and the gentle fall of snow on a winter day.
Learn to keep your wants simple and refuse to be controlled by the likes and dislikes of others.”

God shed His grace on thee









We have every reason to:
Rejoice. Celebrate. Defend. Fight. Share. Appreciate our rich Heritage.
We have every reason to be:
Happy. Grateful. Proud. Humble. Awestruck. Charitable.

The United States of America. It's a land of free people. Free people who don't even know what it means to be free. That don't even understand the true meaning, and rarity of the word "free". A People who associate the word "free" with receiving something that doesn't require any payment..
But our freedom was fought for, and the people of the past payed the price, and it's worth a lot more than we would think.

In memory of every person, male or female, that fought or is fighting for our country, this whole week should be a celebration of them, and what they did/do for our amazing country.
Celebrating our Heritage, and what it means to be free.
God has blessed America, and continues to everyday.
Thank Him, for preparing the people, who prepared the land that would be the home of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Let's not forget what it truly means to be an American.
Happy Late Independence Day.
