Perhaps it is just the way I was raised, or maybe it is something in my genes, but I have always counted it a great privilege to be born in the United States of America. We are so affluent and freedom is so ingrained into our experience that I believe we often take it for granted. I have not travelled too far out of the US, but it does not take much to realize that our reality is just not the reality of the rest of the world. I do not feel guilty to live in this country, but I do feel blessed.
I always take time to remember exactly what it cost (and still costs each day) to receive the freedom I hold dear; and I hope you will do the same this July 4th. I also hope that we as a country, and specifically we Christians in the USA, will prove faithful with all that we have been given.
God Bless America by making Himself known here once more, and God use America to bless this world once again.
