Gratitude

I remain in the hands of God, under His control and direction as I anticipate the pieces of my life falling into place, when it seemed completely impossible and that no good outcome was at hand. 

I have an African Violet plant that is a remnant of several starts I made, and it has blossomed, and continues to blossom even though all I do with it is water it once in a while. 

I have lived to see people in the government, former officials, answer to the courts like all other citizens can expect, if they do wrong and flaunt laws and rules established  by our fathers for our sound governance. Historically, we have not had such major happenings as occur from time to time when matters have shifted drastically and our governance has been gravely challenged.

For the uniformed, the United States fought a civil war, and the legacy of those who opposed the law of the land have had a tradition they have passed on from generation to generation to oppose all that happened as that war was carried out. Their dream is of people disenfranchised and enslaved through fear and ignorance and the systematic corruption of the government, and in ages past, instances of equal gravity have been resolved by further wars which only served to perpetuate worse outcomes for whole nations and their allies. We have a choice to make, and if we make the wrong one, freedom and the right to express the general opinion could be lost and very difficult to restore without general destruction.

I am certain that God hears our prayers, and guides events so that tragedies can be avoided, and peace and freedom continue. Never doubt the power of your prayers. Never doubt the desire of God to make  His children happy.

No one can ask that enslavement be preserved because God does not grant such things since they are contrary to His nature, and His Will is contrary to that of evil and evil is awaiting an end which leaves men free as He is free.

Peace with those who desire God's peace.
