Today we give thanks to God for the gift of our country and the hard-won freedoms we have come to enjoy. And we pray that our land might be a land where all are able to flourish, where human dignity is respected and the downtrodden find refuge in good laws, and above all where justice and decency shape our life together. May God bless our efforts, direct and preserve us! The reformer Martin Luther may not have been a founding father, but he is onto something, offering words of wisdom when it comes to Christians setting the tone for our common life.
