America is God's 'Chosen Nation'

​It's almost the​ Fourth of July, known as Independence Day,​ a​ fitting
​name for the country that is home ​of the freest people in humankind, ​
whose independence is guarantee​d, as they rule themselves.

For me, its not a stretch to say America is God's 'Chosen Nation'. 

After all, no other nation is home of more people of different races

and nationalities that share America's intangible bounty, no matter 

when they arrived or where they are from, citizens and visitors alike. 

There is no religious or station qualifier in our country, all are welcome.

Yes, we have a sizable number that cringe whenever "American
Exceptionalism" is mentioned rather than demonstrate pride. 

Perhaps they feel embarrassed for having the abundance of riches 

that most other nations do not have. 

But, how else can we describe the most generous and benevolent nation

in humankind other than acknowledge it is exceptional? 

Our country not only cares for its people but also can be counted on to

send humanitarian aid where needed as well as defend those unable to 

defend themselves.​

The United States, this landmass of almost four million square 

miles, is rare in so many ways​. What other​ nation​ can self sustain

a population of almost 330 million people, third largest in the 
world​ with a quality of life and standard of living unmatched.​

Not only self sustain, but​ thrive even as it  provides valued 
resources for the most depressed parts of the world.

Can anyone name one other nation that has done so much for so 

many?  I cannot think of one.

Yes, we cannot overlook the plight of some, that live in 'forgotten' 

patches of America, where poverty has reigned from one generation 

to the next. But, this has less to do with a nation's broken promise

than it does with the failures of individuals and governance in these communities. Yet, even within these areas of blight, problems have

a better chance of being overcome than anywhere else!

So, on this Independence Day, how do YOU feel? How many of you 

truly appreciate our great nation? How many realize no matter 

​where 

you live, your home state has so much to offer. Travel

throughout  your state and observe the natural wonder.

Behold the wonder of the natural landscape blended with the 

wonder 

of what man has created. Every state is unique,​ ​which 

I believe is a blessing by the Almighty.​

We may all agree the Grand Canyon is a natural world wonder,

but 

there are also so many lesser natural landscapes in our own 

backyards, found in Utah, Michigan, New York and each of our 

other states.​ Visit them, see for yourselves! ​

Where else can we find so much of Nature's bounty and wonder

in a continent that is one-tenth the size of our entire planet.

Nature, with God's 'helping hand' has done what man can only

view 

with awe!

If the United States is not the "Chosen Nation", than no place is!

Cherish where you live, the freedom and the responsibility 

to

self-govern!

God has Blessed America.  Be thankful he has!

Happy Independence Day!
