Sometimes I get tired of criticizing my country, my government, my leaders, even my fellow citizens.
This is a great time of year to celebrate the positives in our country.
So as I watch fireworks this Fourth of July, I'll remember all the reasons why our country here in the good old USA is so grrr-eat!
Can you add more reasons to be great-ful this year?
We Americans....especially the Liberal Wing....like to complain about dire conditions in our country. Maybe it's time to consider some positives, such as:
We're not yet at the bottom for earnings per capita,
Most of our children learn to read and count,
Our breast cancer rates are only increasing at 2 percent a year...a smidgen,
Our teenage pregnancy rate isn't the highest in the world;
Although we haven't too many old growth forests anymore, we have lots of new growth. Newer is better.
Water still flows downstream here;
Our sun rises in the east and sets in the west no matter what happens politically;
The Chinese still sells to Walmart who sells to us;
Our soldiers still have bombs and bullets for war; and yes,
The State of Mississippi is still with us!
Now I for one feel so much better, knowing that Our Creator provides so well for us today, even when sometimes we don't deserve it.
