We Need Unity And Not Division
I read this months ago and kept a copy. I wish I could give credit to whoever wrote it. It is short, but certainly could give us all something to think about.
“One of the most difficult things to do is to get people to work together successfully, to have a meeting of the minds where people reach an agreement and move forward together for a common cause.
It’s often easier for people to fight and disagree than to come together, progress and build. It is written that a house divided is a house broken. Of all the things that we seek guidance on, we often forget to pray for unity and for the Lord to enable our spirit to work with others.”
Patriotism for EVERY DAY
NO, it is not Memorial Day or the 4th of July! Often we take for granted the country we live in and our freedoms, but many men and women have paid dearly for us to have the lives that we have–the freedoms that many people in the world do not have. We are a Blessed People! Take a few minutes today and silently thank these patriots. It’s not much to ask for the price they paid.
This was sent to me recently and I would like to share it with you.
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who
signed the Declaration of Independence?
A Celebration Of Savings
Count Your Blessings!
We celebrate American Independence Day on the Fourth of July every year. We think of July 4, 1776, as a day that represents the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation. On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson.
From 1776 to the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, but did not become a federal holiday until 1941. Today we celebrate July 4th with many festivities ranging from parades to fireworks, cookouts and family gatherings.
We Stand UNITED!
We are all different. No husband and wife will agree on everything—no matter how much they love each other!! And that is okay!! There is a strength in our differences.
In our families, in our groups of friends, in the workplace and in our country, let us celebrate our differences AND come together to work for the common good of all. Our U.S. history shows what can be accomplished when we are UNITED. Will we ever agree on everything? No, but our common goal should be for UNITY—for each of us to be part of that goal….to be the best husband, wife, son or daughter…the best friend…the best work…and the best U.S. citizen! Together WE WILL STAND!
“A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Abraham Lincoln
Celebrate our Heroes!
How do you celebrate Memorial Day? Is it just another day off work or do you understand its significance in our lives?
Memorial Day, which takes place on the last Monday of May, is a day set aside in the U.S. to honor and remember the people who died while serving in the our armed services. We should actually be thankful and remember their sacrifices every day of the year. We are blessed with a rich heritage of freedom and the men and women who have defended that freedom.
