LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

Of course, without God, there is no bright side! As the hymn says, “Praise God from whom all blessings flow.”

Examples are easy to find and list and I know there are a lot more than I have here.

We have a Representative Republic wherein free elections take place which allow for new and better leaders to replace old and worse ones.

We have a power grid that supplies electricity to our homes and businesses and schools.

We have been able to harness the electromagnetic frequencies that provide the technology to operate TV and Radio and Cell Phones and Tablets through wireless transmissions.

We have more food in our stores than we could possibly need and about which many other nations only dream.

We have clean water that is conveniently piped into our homes for drinking and washing and cooking.

We have clean air to breath and we have heat in our homes for winter cold and air conditioning for summer heat.

We have the freedom to worship in the church of our choice and we have many, many churches from which to choose.

We have men and women who are willing to serve as police officers and firefighters to keep us safe in our homes and community, as well as those willing to serve in the Armed Forces.

We have cars and trucks and motorcycles and also streets and highways on which to travel anywhere we’d like throughout the USA with no border restrictions.

We have low priced gasoline to fuel our vehicles that can be bought at a plethora of gas stations.

We have well-built homes in which to live and pleasant neighbors with whom to visit.

We have a free press from which to glean news and weather and sports and in which to read letters to the editor.

And we have the freedom to write either negative letters or positive letters such as this.
