A friend of mine posted the other day that perhaps [because I feel so strongly] I have been called to patriotism! It took me back for a bit.. but it is true. God put it in our hearts to claim, stand for and love the land He has given us. The best example of this is the ongoing struggle in Israel.
President Kennedy said it best: Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.
What can we do for God but to honor, respect and love that which He has given us. I pray that every day is a star-spangled, glory hallelujah day for each American. It will never be perfect in the eyes of man, but if we start looking for the good, then we can withstand the not so good.
