Name one other country that has what we have here in the U.S. Even with the economic down-turn and subsequent heartaches for many, we still have more to be thankful for than anywhere else in the world. We are reminded daily how much our free speech means to us, ability to roam free without fear of armed guards hindering our progress, church involvement of our choice - and countless other freedoms we experience daily in our lives. Stay vigilant, stay involved in the political process, greet others warmly, love your family and be accepting of yourself as you are, flaws and all. You are all God-made according to His desires and plans for His Kingdom.
