The Fourth of July means little children on decorated tricycles in
local parades. It means food, fun, family and fireworks. It symbolizes
love of country and devotion to duty, honor and the cause of liberty.
It's
fitting that this grand day arrives at the beginning of summer, for
summer is truly America's season. We are an outdoor nation: sunny,
spacious, free, adventurous and perpetually optimistic.,
When we
celebrate our nation's birthday we reaffirm our faith in America and
everything it stands for. We confirm our belief that God did indeed
"shed his grace on thee."
When we celebrate this day we make this
promise to ourselves: That we will always remember that America's cause
is just, it's heart is mighty, it's spirit is true and it's best days
are still ahead of it.
My prayer this day is that God will continue
to bless and protect this great country so all children who celebrate
the Fourth will understand and enjoy it's wonderful freedoms for
generations to come.
