Zuzu Bailey: “Look, Daddy. Teacher says, every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.” George Bailey: “That’s right, that’s right. Attaboy, Clarence.” It’s a Wonderful Life (1945)

Every man and woman needs to know they have made a difference in life and that their lives have impacted their community, family, and friends. George Bailey was fortunate enough to have Clarence, Angel First Class, remind him of his contributions and value. This Christmas, let us take time to tell others of their importance and value in our lives.

We ask God to bless and protect our military and the civilian men and women standing vigil nightly that we may lie in our beds safe, enjoying freedom and liberty. Protect our law enforcement officers and their families.

We believe All Lives Matter, that our Constitution is the foundation of our Nation, that God, not the government, grants us our rights, and we are determined to remain free and independent people. Pray for our country and its leadership that we may stay a sovereign Nation. Let us respect and embrace that we are a diverse and welcoming society that invites those who will abide by our laws, who seek the American dream, and who want to participate in our great Republic to join us. Pray, we never let our vigil down to protect and defend our country and never succumb to the vagaries and idiocies of socialism and progressivism.

Let us care for our homeless veterans and our families in poverty before extending aid and comfort to the rest of the world. Secure our borders, and advance the ways to enter our country legally. So, those who come may create their American dream to excel, live free of persecution, and worship as they choose. Pray that God may share his Grace upon our Great Republic, and we may live to fight another day.
