As we celebrate the 4th of July, in the United States of American, we are reminded of how blessed we are to live in this country. The founders of our country formulated a constitution that protected the individual rights of the individual. These rights included the freedom of religion.
It is because of these individual rights that God has blessed this country. We have freedom to help others, and we also have the resources to accumulate wealth and power. Our system allows us to help others, and it also allows us to take advantage of others. It is a breeding ground for both evil and good. Some would say, a good testing ground for God.
For our country to continue the blessings, we must continue to be a country that gives the individual the right to make his or her decisions, whether it is good or evil. It is this freedom that allows the individual to mature and become spirited.
