Reflecting on President's Day

Good evening all. Yes, today is President's Day. To most of us, it's just a day to shop and catch some savings... or maybe it's just a day off to relax and take it easy. That's good, as well it should be. Today is a day for rest and relaxation, as well as some casual activities. Or, maybe you had the opportunity to work today- praise the LORD that you are blessed to have a job.

Today, is also the day to reflect on the hightest office in the land: The Oval Office. Today we remember and honor all the Presidents past and present that have lived to serve the United States of America. Thanks to God for this great country, and thanks to God for the Presidents who have served the United States with dignity, integrity, and honor. Today is historical because it reflects the past, celebrates the present, and declares the future. We celebrate today to remember and present the sacred liberty of freedom entrusted to the People of the United States, and the power of the President as the personification of that individual liberty.

George W
Let us pray that the President and all the President's men remember to keep the American People first. Let us pray that the President has smart ideas to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty for the American People, present and future. We pray as George Washington once prayed:
"I now make it my earnest prayer, that God would have the United States in His holy protection, that he would incline the hearts of the Citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to Government, to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another, for their fellow Citizens of the United States at large, and particularly for their brethren who have served in the Fields, and finally, that he would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all, to do Justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that Charity, humility and pacific temper of mind, which were the Characteristicks of the Divine Author of our blessed Religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy Nation. Amen." ~George Washington

Take a word from the wise...

A small country has fewer people.
Though there are machines that can work ten to a hundred times faster
than man, they are not needed.
The people take death seriously and do not travel far.
Though they have boats and carriages, no on uses them.
Though they have armor and weapons, no one displays them.
Men return to the knotting of rope in place of writing.
Their food is plain and good, their clothes fine but simple,  their homes secure;
They are happy in their ways.
Though they live within sight of their neighbors,
And crowing cocks and barking dogs are heard across the way,
Yet they leave each other in peace while they grow old and die.

Tao Te Ching, verse 80
