Have a great Independence Day and don't forget to pray for our nation and its freedom. Here's a prayer:
Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage: We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favor and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
God bless America,
LSP

It's a great prayer.
You don't get time to decompress between your birthday and Independence Day. Party on LSP!
Amen.
Thank you, Parson. It's beautifully written.
I tell you, LL, it's all go.
And what a powerful prayer!
It's a good one, Wild.
God bless.
Glad it was helpful, drjim. Some of those Prayer Book Collects are very, very good. Worth memorizing.
I think he looks like an Orwell or Winston, but since he does not talk, both those might not fit.
call him Sully and he will turn out a good tracker and safety dog.
Terrapod, I fear he's become a Rhodie, which he seems to like in a doggish way.
But great Orwell call.
