HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!
May it be a day filled with awe and wonder. Jesus is in town. He is in your heart too. Be open to His love and mercy and share it with all those you meet today. Now the Lord is Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Cor 3:17).
i thank you God for most this amazing
e.e. cummings
i thank you God for most this amazing
day; for the leaping greenly spirit of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings;and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope on earth.
(Abraham Lincoln)
