On Saturday a small group of about 85 gathered on a busy street, holding signs in support of immigrant families in my town. We are the white privileged marching for the poor and afraid because they can’t. That is what being an American Christian means to me. Gratitude for a nation that allows demonstrations is a given. God bless America. God bless all of humanity.

You stated so well the thoughts I’ve had as of late, living as a Christian in the United States. I agree with Lisa as well. I have also learned that humility and gratitude are absolutely essential for carrying out God’s will in our lives. Thank you and happy Independence Day!

Humility and gratitude are essential to maintain the promise of all of our blessings. I pray that we, as Americans, can become more gracious again and recognize the need to share our blessings.
Thank you for your insight.
