God Bless America




While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,

Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,

Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,

As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.


God bless America,

Land that I love,

Stand beside her and guide her,

Through the night with a light from above.

From the mountains to the prairies,

To the oceans, white with foam,

God bless America,

My Home Sweet Home.



Happy Independence Day to you and yours.



I'm so very proud to be an American.



I LOVE this country.



Have a great day and be safe.



Huggies,

Happy Birthday AMERICA!!! I LOVE YOU!


America The Beautiful

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown they good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Oh how I love that song.....and the Stars Spangled Banner....and any other patriotic American song, for that matter. I love to hear them, but I can never sing along. I try. I really, really try. I get a lump in my throat the size of the Statue of Liberty and weep every time I hear one....and get goose bumps the size of Texas! :-)

Yep, I'm a gushy, sloppy, America loving citizen of this great and mighty land!

And, darn proud of it!



No country has a flag as gloriously beautiful as our American flag! Each time I see all the flags displayed in one place........say the Olympics, I'm amazed at how our flag stands out and ABOVE all the rest. It's held the test of time and all the other flags pale in comparison.







Long may she wave.



My sentiments exactly!







Amen.



God bless AMERICA!! Two hundred and thirty-three years old.

And, finally, I want to thank all of those who have fought for our blessed America......and those who continue to fight. I am grateful beyond words.


From my family to yours........

Happy Independence Day!

Please be safe.


And, please pray for our country!

Spencer and her Muffin.
