GOD BLESS AMERICA!

God bless America, land that I love

Stand beside Her and guide Her

Through the night with the Light from above

From the mountains, to the prairies

To the oceans white with foam

God bless America

My home sweet home!

~Irving Berlin~ 1938

Our nation is officially headed in a new direction and more than ever we need to be vigilant in prayer. Regardless of how any of us voted or how we feel about our new President, we must support him and cover him in prayer. We live in the most blessed Nation on the face of this earth and if we don't get on our knees before God, He will withdraw His mighty hand of protection over us. Our precious freedoms we take so for granted, are being taken away and we are sitting back and letting it happen. I am about to be 51 years old and even in my short lifetime I have seen changes that have been detrimental to this great country. When I was a little girl, school started every morning with a prayer and The Pledge of Allegiance! We did NOT begin the day without them! AND, I remember the priority that was put on getting the flag down from the flagpole at even the slightest hint of rain. There was a deep respect for Old Glory and we all knew what she stood for! It was imbedded in us at a young age. Now, some 45 years later, families are torn apart, husbands and wives cheat on one another, children disrespect their parents and elders, killings happen as if some sort of sport! In Matthew 24:12 it says, "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." Jesus Christ gave us a very clear warning that in the last days, the natural love that should be between children and parents, husbands and wives, and families in general would grow cold. Almost as if to freeze over. If there were only one warning that signaled the "end times" this one would be enough to convince me. But, just go back 40 or 45 years. About the time someone decided we didn't need God in our public schools..and people wonder what happened? Let me put it this way.....If Christ is not the center of the home, then families, schools, churches, governments and on and on, simply will not be able to stand! It's simple really! Christ is the ONLY way! I pray you choose Christ!
