Hello my most wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much and am delighted to be sharing this time with you all. I have been reflecting on my life here in America and how so many things have changed over the years and even more rapidly over the last couple of years.
Ever since I was a young girl, I was always proud to be an American and proud of our nation. I was proud to watch the flag being raised in the mornings at the flag pole at school. The children who were raising the flag had to be ever so careful to unfold it in the correct manner, and to raise it so that it never touched the ground. I was always proud to say the Pledge of Allegiance with my little hand over my heart and proud to sing the National Anthem. I have continued to be proud to be an American throughout my life and now I am heart broken over what has happened here in this America that I have loved and continue to love. I know that God is heartbroken also.
Dear LORD God Almighty, we love You, we praise and worship You. We are thankful for Who You are and Whose we are. We are thankful to You for being our Heavenly Father and always watching over us, protecting us and providing for us. We thank You for giving Your Only Beloved, Begotten Son Jesus Christ Who was and is Perfect to die a heinous death for us all to take away the sins of the world and be LORD and Savior of all of us who repent of our sins and ask You to be our LORD and Savior.
We thank You Jesus for Your Holy Spirit Who leads us into all wisdom and righteousness and guides us every moment of our lives. Thank You for the freedom that we still have here in America. Help us who are true Christ followers to stand up in love and with prayer to You to protect our land, our God given rights, our unborn babies, our families, our children and our Christian Heritage.
LORD please help those in Turkey and Syria. Comfort all who have lost loved ones and are grieving. Please call Your people from around the world to help them so they will be able to rebuild and to have utilities and the necessities of life. Thank You for Good Samaritan Christian Organization that went over there and set up Emergency Hospitals and other Christian organizations and churches, and others who are helping.
LORD please help those in Ukraine with all of their needs. Save all of Your people in all of Your nations please LORD. Save the Russians so they will not continue this evil against Ukraine. Save those who are committing genocide so they will stop. Please protect those who are being persecuted and martyred for You Jesus, and their families. Please protect Your children everywhere and keep Your angels around them, both the born and the unborn. Thank You in advance. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
I still proudly fly my Flag of the United States of America in front of my house. I am proud of the relatives of my parents who fought for America and died in World War II and my Dad who served afterwards, and my relative who serves currently. All of this sacrifice and these are only the relatives that I know of in my own family. Think of all of the sacrifices of all of the American families of all races, creeds, colors, and cultures who have given the ultimate sacrifice of their lives for our continued liberties and our freedom.
What have we done as a nation to show our gratitude lately? Previously their was no hesitation to proudly serve our country. In WWI and WWII people volunteered to serve in the military to protect America. Recently while my relative was protecting America while serving thousands of miles away in a foreign country; we were back here in America fighting about which bathroom we wanted to use and changing rules to accommodate our wishes.
Now instead of standing together in unity as Americans, we want to teach Marxism, Socialism, and Communism. Do we not see that those people at the borders who are risking their very lives and the lives of their children to come to America, are fleeing from nations with such oppression, dictatorships, and Marxist, Socialist, and Communist world views.
Now we fight between political parties, and we fight within the same political party. We act like we don’t have any common decency, manners or respect for fellow human beings and fellow Americans. If someone flies their American flag or has Conservative view points, or a Christian world view, they are labeled as a racist, bigot, or a ‘multi’phobic person.
One meaning I found for Conservative=Favoring free enterprise, private ownership, and socially traditional values.
One meaning I found for Liberal=Relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.
GOD’S FREE CHOICE= JOSHUA 24:15 BUT IF SERVING THE LORD SEEMS UNDESIRABLE TO YOU, THEN CHOOSE FOR YOURSELVES THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE…BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE SHALL SERVE THE LORD.
God gives us freedom to choose. Our choices have life affecting consequences. Please note where liberal=promotes individual rights. Individual=you may have a differing world view. I don’t have to have that same view, nor embrace your world view, nor be punished or excluded or cancelled because I don’t have the same view=individual choice. I can have more traditional views. We are all different individuals, we have all been affected by life differently. I used to be more liberal. I want to live my life to please an audience of ONE=Jesus.
I can only really speak for myself. I used to be a teenaged ‘rebel without a cause’, and without the good morals that I was raised with. Then I repented of my many grievous sins and gave my life to Jesus Christ as my LORD and Savior. My life has never been the same. Have trials, tribulations, and tragedies happened? Yes, sadly many. But I have never been alone. Jesus is always with me. His WORD, the Bible is the TRUTH. Jesus Himself is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I know where I will spend eternity, in Heaven with my LORD…for eternity!
ISAIAH 59:2 BUT YOUR INIQUITIES HAVE SEPARATED YOU FROM YOUR GOD; YOUR SINS HAVE HIDDEN HIS FACE FROM YOU, SO THAT HE WILL NOT HEAR
ROMANS 5:8-10 BUT GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE FOR US IN THIS: WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. SINCE WE HAVE NOW BEEN JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, HOW MUCH MORE SHALL WE BE SAVED FROM GOD’S WRATH THROUGH HIM! FOR IF, WHILE WE WERE GOD’S ENEMIES, WE WERE RECONCILED TO HIM THROUGHT THE DEATH OF HIS SON, (JESUS), HOW MUCH MORE, HAVING BEEN RECONCILED, SHALL WE BE SAVED THROUGH HIS LIFE!
REVELATION 21:8 BUT AS FOR THE COWARDLY, THE FAITHLESS, THE DETESTABLE, AS FOR MURDERERS, THE SEXUALLY IMMORAL, SORCERERS, IDOLATERS, AND ALL LIARS, THEIR PORTION WILL BE IN THE LAKE THAT BURNS WITH FIRE AND SULFUR, WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH.
JOHN 3:16 BUT GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.
In the meantime, while I am still alive here on this earth, and living in America; I don’t want my country to be divided, or our government to be dismantled, or our democracy to be destroyed. I want to continue to be proud to be an American in this nation that was founded under God with Biblical principles and world view. We all have freedom of choice given to us from God our Creator. This is what I choose. You choose what you will choose. Please, we all need to be very careful as we choose. Our eternities depend upon the choices that we make right here and now.
I personally don’t want Almighty God to destroy America or take away His Blessings because of all of the heinous sin that is rampant in America now. God hates sin. He is Pure Righteousness. He is patient because He does not want any of His children to perish but His Spirit will not always strive with us. We cannot continue to kill our unborn babies, kill each other, hate each other because of our differences, mutilate our own children, teach young minds about sex who don’t even know what sex is, and then tell them to make a choice about their bodies that will affect them the rest of their adult lives. They are children, not adults. Let them be innocent children as God created them to be. We need to love. We need to live in God’s peace and love, and forgiveness, and have respect and appreciation for one another and be grateful to God.
Just like you may not want to embrace the Christian Biblical world view or the conservative American political view, don’t expect me to go against what I know to be God’s TRUTH and embrace your world view, or ideas, or your feelings, or your lifestyle. Don’t shout about rights of inclusivity while you exclude my rights exclusively. It doesn’t work that way. We are all accountable to God our Maker on Judgment day. We will each stand naked and alone before Him. This is just the TRUTH, and the thing about the TRUTH of God is that it doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, it is still the TRUTH.
Until we get to talk again, please know that I love you and am praying for you and your generations. Most importantly, Jesus loves you.
