Our founding fathers continue to serve as an example for us to this day, providing inspiration and guidance. Thomas Jefferson said: “Do you want to know who you are? Don`t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.”
Ultimately it is not our words that define who we are, but our deeds. Our greatest legacy is what we do while we are on this earth, how we treat others, how we conduct ourselves in our daily tasks, how we spend our days – this is how we will be remembered.
We pray for our country and all who serve it, may our actions be filled with insight and courage. May we serve with humility and dedication. May we be known for deeds of kindness and generosity of spirit. May this be God’s will. Amen.
