The Fourth of July is a day of patriotic flag waving, fireworks, and festivities with friends and families. It is also a day to reflect on our sacred freedom and the high price paid to maintain it.

Lessons from LeAnn

Let's take time this holiday week, when the news is filled with too much fighting and fear, to meditate on these powerful words that I too often sing or rattle off without appreciating the meaning, the blessing our country so desperately welcomes. Please join me in a one-minute meditation, softly reading these few verses carefully, mightily, as a reflection or prayer:

O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above thy fruited plain

America, America
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea

America, America
God mend thine every flaw
Confirm thy soul in self control
Thy liberty in law

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life

America, America
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea

A Healthy Quote:
 
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."   
- Ronald Reagan
