A very dear friend of mine who I love very much has been dying a slow and painful death over the last 8 years cuz lets just say some asshole came along and messed her up real bad. Every year her birthday was bittersweet: celebrating her life while watching her decline. Towards the end of 2016 we had given up hope, knowing her beautiful existence was coming to an end. Then on November 9, 2016 a miracle occurred. Someone came along and resuscitated her, gave her new life and is continuing to MAKE HER GREAT AGAIN!!!
Happy 4th of July Freepers! Enjoy celebrating America's best birthday in a decade!
Miracles do happen! MAGA!
My parents are with Jesus....and as I am grateful to the triune God for their pointing me to Christianity....I grow in love for Christ daily and know that I know that I know!! On their gravesite I put a plaque thanking them for giving us God!! The best gift!!!
I had two miracles happen in a matter of two months!! Talking with cousin’s recently, found that there are even more to know God IS listening and answering!!!
A friend has cancer and does not believe in life after death. What really saddens me is her not believing there is a heaven or hell, that she’ll just all be dirt again one day. Very sad. Like I have heard for decades, they better hope they are right and we are not!!
Blessings!
We are looking at communism in our rear view mirror.
Nice post.
I’m not sure whether it was a certain someone or a Higher Authority or maybe just 60+ million voters who saw through the spin - either way it confirms that the USA is special and unique - and I say that as an envious Brit looking on.
Very happy for your blessed friend and for those who love this person.
I know & love your friend and pray for her continuing recovery. May she live forever!
As one ponders the USA and what we have accomplished since Valley forge and Bunker Hill. We fought many wars in many foreign lands yet we never were an empire builder. We sacrificed nearly a million souls during the Civil war and freed the slaves. We sacrificed countless thousand of souls during two world wars so Europe could be free. We liberated Kuwait and deposed despots. What did we really ask in return? Nothing!. Now we face the worst enemy ever, we have our own people hoping to destroy our great nation. They are full of hate, hating anyone who dares to want to make America great.
Thomas Jefferson, only days before his and John Adams' deaths, both on July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years from the day we celebrate, by way of explaining his inability to attend a gathering to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Declaration, wrote to Roger Weightman:
"I should, indeed, with peculiar delight, have met and exchanged there congratulations personally with the small band, the remnant of that host of worthies, who joined with us on that day, in the bold and doubtful election we were to make for our country, between submission or the sword; and to have enjoyed with them the consolatory fact, that our fellow citizens, after half a century of experience and prosperity, continue to approve the choice we made. may it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all) the Signal of arousing men to burst the chains, under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings & security of self-government. That form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. the general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view, the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of god. These are grounds of hope for others.For ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them." - (Jefferson, June 24, 1826, to Roger Weightman)
God uses people.
And we are looking at socialism right in front of us.
I hope we are looking at socialism in the rear view mirror after the last elections. It will always use lies and be lurking around the corner waiting for another chance.
We wont be. Entitlements are too entrenched and uniparty has no interest in stopping them.
Looks like some misunderstood the allegory - Happy 4th!
