I looked outside the glass of the front door, saw my American Flag waving freely in the wind, bright red, white and blue — a contrast to the parched-looking landscape and barren trees — and I suddenly felt at peace.

I realized that despite a brutal, physical and spiritual winter, Spring is indeed coming  — it always does.

The flag will wave gently, the grass on the pastures will be green, the trees will again provide shade, and the hearts of “We the People” will find joy once again.

Most of us tend to share the same love of God, love of country, love of family… We are those who stand for the flag and stand by a Constitution that guarantees our rights, as given by God.

Although we may think differently, have different customs, have slightly different ways of looking at a glass of water that is filled halfway, most of us stand with the unifying knowledge that there is a Higher Intelligence, a Supreme Creator who many of us call God, or Jesus, or Hashem.

Despite the illusion of darkness, the Light of goodness and holiness always manages to break through those ominous, dark clouds, and blasts what hides in shadows.

The sun will warm up the land and life will break through, regardless of the obstacles in its way.

Life will spring forth yet again., always given another chance… The omnipotent force of creation always finds a way to express.

The Original Blueprint of Creator WILL BE Restored,

as we humble ourselves, and commit to always keeping our torch lit, and never succumbing to darkness again!
