If my people...

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
—The Bible, II Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)

Presidential Quote for the Week

We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.
— Abraham Lincoln, April 30, 1863

Dear Warriors,

 Thought that you would be honored by the words of Abraham Lincoln.  I so appreciated his spirit and words. 

You have the daunting task of defending our rights and priviledges and I thank God that He faithfully humbles us and causes us to repent and pray for you and our nation.  He is faithful as you are faithful.  I pray that you don't become discouraged by our forgetful hearts.

Love,

Mom
