This semiquincentennial year for the United States of America has been a time of gathering friends and family for celebratory times, experiencing its history and present innovations, and reveling in all the good that is America. I am grateful for my ancestors who sacrificed greatly to leave their homelands for an unsettled wilderness and all who kept coming as they were beckoned by the hope of liberty. I am thankful for my American roots that anchor me to this land. I am thankful for all the freedom that has been fought for and won because people have believed we could have something different, something better. I am grateful to God for watching over us, and I pray for His holy protection as we move into the next two hundred and fifty years.
