Please pray for the United States of America, my country that I love.
WHY I LOVE AMERICA
I love our nation because I was born here (south Georgia), I served my country for 21 plus years (16 active duty Army and 5 Reserve), and we have freedom of worship...Besides all that, my ancestors came to America in the early 1600s, and my family tree includes American Indian blood, English, Irish, French, Welsh and more..America is a melting pot, of the people, for the people and supposed to be governed by the people.
Over in Midway, Georgia (near Savannah), stands a little white church, and across the road is a cemetery. Underneath the grounds of this cemetery lies my great-great-great-great grandfather, and grandmother. Growing in the cemetery are huge, moss covered live oak trees (one has a 25 feet + diameter and is hundreds of years old). On my grandmother's grave lies the inscription.."A humble woman of God"..They were Puritans...so I have a spiritual heritage.
I once toook my young son (he was seeking direction) down to the family cemetery where my Dad, Mom, both sets of grandparents, one set of great grandparents, many aunts, uncles and cousins are resting. I told him..."See, some died young, some died old...Let me tell you something about our family...First of all, we love God, next, we love our family, and third, we love our country..if you stick with these three things in life, you will never go wrong."
Yes, I am proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free and can worship my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Dear Irvin,
That is a wonderful heritage. Thank you so much for sharing that. I also served my country (United States Army). My father served in World War II in the South Pacific for many long hard years. He left a journal of those experiences that we have typed up and posted on our families website. My grandfather also served during World War II and was wounded in France. I am proud of my heritage and the country I was born into. I am married to a Norwegian living over here in Norway and I still think there is no better country then in the United States. When the day comes we will be retiring there though.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray over our great nation and for all those who are serving around the world to ensure our peace and uphold our standards and the sacred principles our nation is founded on. I pray that You would protect and guard those who guard our lives. I pray that You will bless us in this fight against terrorists around the world and give our President wisdom and guidance in all the decisions he makes. Keep all our embassies around the world safe and may our ways of live and freedoms be preserved for our children and their children. I pray in Jesus Holy name amen.
