It was 1776 when our country got its freedom. And many years before that, Christ was born. Since then — 1776 — the Fourth of July has become a regular holiday. There is no looking back on all the highs and lows of this world. But freedom has made our nation stronger. Similarly, Christ died so we can be free. Freedom of speech is guaranteed in the First Amendment. He brought us back from sin to life.
Blue is the color of celebration. The color of hope is red. Blue skies, yellow moon, the color of freedom is white. When the three colors come together they make fireworks.
The prayer for the nation is, “Bless the land, save the people, feed the homeless, clothe the needy, shelter the American people, give grace to the humble and give us peace through the blue rainbow colors that come our way.”
