Lord… You are the “sunshine” of my life. Amen.

We are reminded early in July on July 4th to Celebrate the Spirit of America. Let’s celebrate with…
…unity
…respect
…hope
…better understanding
…compassion

Let’s celebrate the month of July with caring for one another…
…by being extra kind
…accepting differences with respect
…being responsible stewards of the earth

Let’s celebrate with a prayer in our heart and spirit.
Take time on these warm July Summer days to reflect on the gifts of America…
As We The People …
…establish justice for all
…insure domestic tranquility
…provide for the common good
…promote general welfare
and…
…secure the Blessings of Peace for ourselves and our posterity.

What a wonderful way to share our mission of being an American by being “a people”.
To be “a people” (Pope Francis) means our family of earth is united by human solidarity. This unity is born of “closeness” to God in our daily encounters.

What a blessing to be an American “people” …a variety of cultures, colors, beliefs and dreams.

We are “a people” given dignity by God.

Share this blessing especially especially during this July 2021

Become the Blessing of Love
accept one another…
as a brother, as a sister…
one heart united under God.

…callling someone to just say hello

A new season called Summer…..Be God’s sunshine in words, deeds and actions.
