The statue of Liberty
The inscription on the Statue of Liberty speaks volumes of our past, and I pray our present and future. “GIVE ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR, YOUR HUDDLED MASSES YEARNING TO BE FREE, THE WRETCHED REFUSE OF YOUR TEEMING SHORE. SEND ME THESE THE HOMELESS, TEMPEST TOSSED TO ME. I LIFT MY LAMP BESIDE THE GOLDEN DOOR.” The countries of the world have many images and feelings concerning the US, but whether it is Iran, Russia, Zimbabwe, counties under dictators or oppressive regimens, those nations with different religions, and parts of the world grindingly poor, many in those nations observe this nation and covet the liberty and freedom we sometimes take for granted. Daily people do anything they can to become a part of the American dream, a dream of freedom and opportunity, a dream I believe has been given to us by a providential God and funded by the blood and sacrifice of so many throughout our history. Recently, our Vice President led a Citizenship swearing in ceremony in Iraq, for who, soldiers who were already defending the dream of liberty and celebrating in personal sacrifice for the simple inscription this beautiful lady stands for, the only nation in the world with such a Jesus blessed invitation. God bless America.
