I just love to see an unfurled flag!
The majestic wave of Old Glory!
The triumphant view of our Red, White and Blue!
All of it…just makes me proud to be an American!
And it makes me want to thank those who defend our freedom—
Even our greatest freedom—the right to disagree!
We live in Our Land where we can disagree with politicians.
We can disagree with each other.
And we don’t have to fear repercussions for disagreeing.
There won’t be any military at our door to pull us out of
our beds;
There won’t be any sequestering in a jail cell for
indefinite periods;
There won’t be beatings, floggings, executions…
Even IF we disagree with the party in charge.
That’s OUR AMERICA!!!

Why do we take a simple act, the act to
disagree, so lightly? Why can’t we see how others in the world are dying for
this right…just to say “I disagree!” Why can’t we remember…it was the reason we
fought for Liberty—so we could “Disagree in Peace”, without fear of reprisal!
And that’s one of the things that STILL MAKES AMERICA GREAT!!!
On this day…As
we celebrate Our Declaration of Independence – let’s remember that we have
always defended someone’s right to disagree!
Even IF it’s not our opinion – they have a right to
speak freely on our land!
And that means Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion,
Freedom to bear arms!
As a Christian, I am so proud to be
in a country where I can speak of my love for God!
I can proclaim that Jesus is my Savior and that I am bound for glory!
And…even IF someone disagrees—IT’s STILL MY RIGHT TO
BELIEVE!
We live in a country that protects
our right to Believe!
It’s our unalienable right to the “Pursuit of Happiness” that
is defended daily!
And that pursuit may cause US to disagree with those
pursuing THEIR happiness!
And I always remember…we ALL have a right to the PURSUIT!!!
So as we celebrate this GOD given right to believe, to
disagree, to pursue…
Remember those who have fought to
keep us free!
And remember that…many of them are coming home…
And they are going to need OUR help to readjust to Life Back
At Home!
They are coming home
to what they left…but they are coming home different!
The reports I have heard cause me to pray harder for our
returning HEROES!
They are coming home—missing limbs, PTSD, sense of
loss—damaged!
Some of them need to
be reminded… WE are the Land of BELIEVE!
And WE – who were “Defended” by THEM – need to step up
for each of them!
On this day…when we celebrate all of our freedoms and
our heroes—
Why not commit to helping our Heroes
Believe Again!
You can do something to help – donate your time, your money,
your things!
Remind them WHY they donated their life for our FREEDOM!!
There are programs designed to help our heroes re-acclimate
to life at home!
One of those programs that I have been learning more about
is:
Apparently, “GotYour6” means …
“I’ve got your Back!
You had mine, now I have yours!”
There are other worthy projects—find the one that you like the best—but lend
a helping hand!
There’s no better way to celebrate our freedoms…
Than to give to those who defended them!
That’s what they fought for…our freedom to Believe!
So…why don’t WE…help OUR HEROES to Believe Again!!
There’s just no better way to
celebrate Our Unfurled Flag that still flies high today!
