We drove the kids past the US Embassy residence the other day, it is 4 streets down from our home, and we all stopped to admire the beautiful flag that was flowing so brightly in the midst of the flambouyant trees. What a picture- oh, I didn't have my camera- I will go back!!
As I looked at that flag- I thought of all it stood for, I thought of our founding fathers who created a government to take care of the people of the United States then I thought of our one true Father- who created humans to have a relationship with Him.
What must He think when he looks at our country???
He died so we could live freely and we "choose" to push him out of every decision we make.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"Genesis 1:1- how can we look at a tree, a lily, a star, the sun, newborn life and doubt Him?
"Share with God's people who are in need"Romans 12:13- Why do we need our government doing this for us?? God says to share- all that you have is His anyway- do with His as He wishes.
"And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again"2 Corinthians 5:15 Pro-choice??? I don't think so.
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb" Psalm 139:13
Pro-life!! 50 million abortions in the US alone since it was legalized in 1973, what are we telling our children??
"But for Adam no suitable helper was found...the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of man and he brought her to the man." Genesis 2:20-22 No explanation needed.
For God's creation to function as He created it, we must return to Him. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,"plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 Don't we want what He has planned for us?? I do!!
Living in Africa has given me a different perspective of the Country that I love so much- the freedoms that we have, the provisions that are in abundance, the protection of law enforcement officers at the touch of 3 buttons, numerous places of worship, free education promised by our Constitution, a home for every child, excellent medical care at reasonable costs. We are so blessed!
PLEASE- before you vote on Tuesday- Look at what your candidate and his party stand for.... Is he bettering the earth that God created???

Amen to all that. I sounds so simple but has been made so difficult.
God Bless the USA and the world.
Carmen,
Well said. Seth and I feel the same way and our trip to China certainly made the Blessings God gave allows here in the US so much more apparent.
Perspective is an amazing thing. What a blessing that Bradley and Chelsea are able to experience it as well.
I am loving your blog! Kim Little and I were wishing last night we were there with you.
