What made this country truly great? Have we forgotten what is most important to us? What would our Founding Fathers think of us if they were alive today? Take a little over 3 minutes to watch this inspiring video and thank God for America and that you are an American.
FYI...please pass it along.
Beautiful video!
Happy Thanksgiving all
Thanks - Watched it as we were finishing up dishes.
Happy Thanksgiving

And, on a personal level, their advice to youth is needed also.
Thomas Jefferson, in the year before his death, wrote this letter:
"To Thomas Jefferson Smith
"Monticello, February 21, 1825
"This letter will, to you, be as one from the dead. The writer will be in the grave before you can weigh its counsels. Your affectionate and excellent father has requested that I would address to you something which might possibly have a favorable influence on the course of life you have to run, and I too, as a namesake, feel an interest in that course. Few words will be necessary, with good dispositions on your part.
Adore God. Reverence and cherish your parents. Love your neighbor as yourself, and your country more than yourself. Be just. Be true. Murmur not at the ways of Providence. So shall the life into which you have entered, be the portal to one of eternal and ineffable bliss. And if to the dead it is permitted to care for the things of this world, every action of your life will be under my regard. Farewell."
Beautiful, brought tears to my eyes, thank you God. I pray we never forget why we have been so blessed as a nation. My this nation turn back to God and the principles of God that made this land so great. Amen
Thanks. It brought tears to my eyes.
Outstanding quote...and outstanding and solid counsel that withstands the ages.
And a Happy Thanksgiving to you my FRiend. We’ll be sitting down in an hour.
Not to be forgotten!
Thank you, please pin others and pass it around. God bless you and yours.
Thanks for the ping!
