Happy Birthday, America!
What a rich blessing it is to live in a land of freedom. I am thankful, on this day, for the blessings that I have.
I love our national anthem. Whenever it is sung, tears come to my eyes and I am filled with gratitude.
"Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at
the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the
perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly
streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave
proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that
star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the
brave?"
(Francis Scott Key)
May God continue to bless this land that we love. If we do our part, I know He will do His.
