The Strength of a Nation!

The strength of a Nation is not found

in the blind commitment to a political

party. It is found in the undying

devotion to one's family and country.



The strength of a nation is not found

in the celebration of the rich and the famous.

It is found in the acknowledgment

and assistance of its poor and forgotten.



The strength of a nation is not found

in the symbolic ceremonial praise

of God. It is found in each individual's

dedication to God's word and law.



The strength of a nation is not found

in banks, stores, safes, boardrooms,

and conventions. It is found in homes,

in schools, and in the heart of each

individual willing to make a difference.



The strength of a nation is not found

in the ability to wage war or keep peace.

It is found in the wisdom and purity that

sees no need for either.



The strength of a nation is not found

on a flag or in its written history.

It is found in the love, compassion,

kindness, and generosity of each

of its citizens.
