When Benjamin Franklin addressed the Constitutional onvention in 1887, he spoke timeless truths about the nature of government and the key to its success. He said:
“Much of the strength and efficiency of any government, in procuring and securing happiness to the people depends on opinion, on the general opinion of the goodness of the government as well as of the wisdom and integrity of its governors.”
Benjamin Franklin wisely reminds us that the strength and efficiency of a government rests both on the people’s opinion of that government, as well as on the wisdom and the integrity of its leaders.
We pray to the Holy One, the Creator of us all, asking that our leaders always be blessed with wisdom and integrity,and that the people that they serve may be blessed with happiness and well being. May our government and those whom they serve work together for the betterment of our State. May this be God’s will--AMEN
