"I can express no better hope for my country than that the kind Providence which smiled upon our fathers may enable their children to preserve the blessings they have inherited."
—President Franklin Pierce, 1853 Inaugural Address (quoted from Christian History web site)
So let me think - as a nation, what blessings have we inherited? We still are able to grow our own food. I know, we like to import many foods, but we do not have to import any to have a balanced diet. Many places (like Arkansas) can grow many, many foods while Alaska and Hawaii may only grow a few foods.
Another blessing I claim is the blessing of our freedom to practice our religion. To a great extent, we have little interference from the federal government with the way we practice our religion. I know there are exceptions.
What other blessings have we inherited?
How will we preserve them?
