Praise God for America

Happy Independence Day! I am so thankful for the country we live in. It is so easy to take for granted all we have.

A while back I took a cab to the airport and the man driving was from Ethiopia. I asked him what he thought about America in general. He said, "in America, every day is a GOOD day." His point was -- he comes from a country of fear, poverty and famine. Americans have it great EVERY DAY! Be thankful :)

Yep - that's why everyone trys to immigrate to the US. It only takes living in another country, even our wonderful northern neighbors, to realize how great the ol' Red White, and Blue is.
