How God BlessED America!

 

I am marveling at 


how God BlessED America!!


Oh the wonderful freedoms we have enjoyed! God BlessED America!

Oh the way we could come and go as we pleased! God BlessED America!

Oh the way we could worship however and wherever we chose! God BlessED America!

Oh the way we could speak our minds and share our thoughts freely! God BlessED America!

Oh the wonderful inventions, resources and material processions we had available to pursue and consume. God BlessED America!

Oh the amazing, unique, breathtaking and glorious natural beauty, from "sea to shining sea" that we could experience and enjoy! God BlessED America!

Oh the public education made available to all. Education that did not misalign with the principals we were learning at home and at church. God BlessED America!

Oh how we have been able to unleash our creativity, to work hard, to dream big and to make "new" and "better" happen.! God BlessED America!

Oh the opportunities we had been given to elect leaders and to propel grassroot movements to help correct and improve our national issues and society's ails. God BlessED America!

 Oh the way our country had been able to reach out with support, resources, finances and military help for those nations caught in peril, war,  famine and challenge. God BlessED America!

Oh the way we had been able to send missionaries to spread the Gospel to places beyond our borders.  God BlessED America!

Oh the way our Lady Liberty has welcomed the " tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breath free" to our soils of opportunity. God BlessED America!

Oh the life of peace and prosperity that so many of us have enjoyed. God BlessED America!

We could go on and on.

Yes, our blessings have been abundant upon this beautiful nation of ours.

 We have been abundantly blessed in order that we could bless!!


Thankfully, the above statements can actually still be spoken in the present tense (for the most part).

But how long will that be the case?? How long will the Lord continue to bless? Do we not see freedom slipping away? Do we not recall the examples of the Old Testament?

It is our prayer that the day will not come, when the above statements will only be able to be spoken in the past tense. To be used only when recounting the past with one from a younger generation or when wistfully reminiscing with a peer over days gone by.... 

Oh, if only our nation would..... Stop. Think. Acknowledge. (from "whence cometh our help")


As a child I learned about how the pilgrims came to America, in search of religious freedom!  We were taught how the desire to be able to freely worship their God almighty motivated our nation's founders to leave behind family and the familiar to embark on a journey of faith. To endure hardship, sickness and sometimes death in pursuance of their dream.

Because historically so many Americans have looked to Him, God BlessED America!

And now as we face the election ahead, and potential challenges and changes, may we cry out for our nation. 

May we cry out with humble and grateful hearts, trusting His Providence, seeking His will and leaning on His mercy..... 


 Pleading with a heart-felt, faith filled cry...... 

Needing His presence in our "national tent",  we plead in the present tense....

 

Please.....GOD BLESS AMERICA!!


“If My people, who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” -  2 Chronicles 7:14

"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God."  Romans 13:1

“God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear him.” Psalm 67"7


                                                 


May we peacefully trust in Him, come what may!!

God Stories. What's yours?

    I am marveling at God stories. What's yours?? Our daughter has a good friend. Her name is Stephanie. She is creative, talented, bubbly, sensitive and loves Jesus! And she wrote a book. For kids. About God. Called Always Remember . It is different then most kid's books. It has a poetic lilt which is beautiful, but atypical in its cadence. It's wording is unique; yet lovely. It is simple and it is deep.  It's premise is pivotal, declaring Truth! It is almost layered in that each reading of this basically simple book helps peel back another level of understanding and appreciation. It is a book that is actually instructional. It should be read often as a way to reflect and then to live. The main theme is teaching kids (and adults alike) to... Stop. Ponder. Remember God. To see Him every day in everything. To align daily with who He is. It is beautifully illustrated, with large colorful pictures that engage, teach, enlighten and intrigue. She shared how the book was firs...

Free to Destruct or Thrive

  On this Veteran's Day, I am musing about how we are... FREE! Free.... to destruct or thrive!  0h THANK YOU Heavenly Father for the free nation that is ours! THANK YOU to our service men and women of today and to all those who willingly fought and unselfishly gave...so that we could be free. Free to let our voice by heard, to worship as we please, to vote our conscience! Are these freedoms being challenged? Yes! Is free speech being censored? Yes! Oh there are concerns...ample concerns! So, a disclaimer of sorts. Is what I am about to relate my own humble, personal opinion?  Yes, it is. I am basing it on God's Word which is where I obtain my world view. Which is where I find Truth. Dear readers, I surmise that most of you agree with me, but if you do not, that is your right. We both have rights to express our opinions.And that is because we live in a country that allows us this privilege! And for that, I am thankful! Aren't you? So, getting back to my message. Yes, there...

Thank You and God Bless!!

  Thank you friends and family for coming along on this musing and marveling journey the last three and half years. The journey is not over. There is still plenty of musing and marveling to do. But for now, I have come to a place of pause and reflection. As 2023 rolls to its close, I am considering taking a step of faith to put this into a book to be shared with those I love, and those who love (or will love) Jesus! All along, it has been about using God given stories and random analogies to encourage and inspire, as together we let life point us to our life-giver, Jesus! And that is my prayer for each of you dear readers...that you may be encouraged, each day, to continue on in this Christ-following journey. Look to Him! Shine for Him! Love Him! Share Him! It is what we are called to do! For this life is all about serving our Lord and bringing others to the Father's throne of mercy and grace, that place where we all find hope, purpose and peace. And to each of our precious grand-c...
