On a trip to New York City, in May 2019, one of the more remarkable opportunities was to take the boat out to see the Statue of Liberty, walk around it,and learn about this majestic sculpture. We also went to Ellis Island where the new immigrants came into this country, where they were interviewed and processed before entering the young United States. A wonderful history lesson, with an important message for today.

The message we should hear today is that of "Gratitude". When looking at the statue, she says, "Bring your tired, your hungry, your poor...". These desperate and poor soles came to the American shores for a chance of a positive change. A chance for freedom from oppression, hopes for a home, a job, to live in peace and safety. There were many reasons why the millions and millions of people from all around the world want to come here, the United States of America. Think about it...

During this crazy time in America, can we come together for even a moment, like for July 4th Independence Day, and give thanks for the many blessings we really do have in this country. We are Americans, born in this great land, or migrated to this land, with an opportunity live safely, learn, and make whatever of this life that you will. We have many freedoms and liberties that must people in the world only dream of having. America is not perfect, we are not perfect, and certainly I am far from perfect, but at least we can strive to make our lives and our country a little better. One day at a time..

Just look at the news, mob rule and “peaceful” protests are happening in the major cities, the Corona Virus has stymied our otherwise robust economy, censorship and spying have shredded our Rights of free speech and privacy, amidst a turbulent presidential election year. The major controversies these days revolve around defunding the police departments, perceived racism, gun control, freedom of speech and religion, and government over-stepping its bounds in regards to privacy and due process.

But.. be grateful you are "here" versus some other country where ones whining and little temper tantrums would have you beaten and dragged into prison. Be grateful that we "can" stomp up down the street screaming potty-mouth language at various people or groups. Be grateful you have food to eat, clean water, a place to live, and have clothes on your back. How spoiled we can become with our little cell phones and WI-FI, and a few dollars in our pockets. If we can get our heads out of our spoiled bottoms, we have a great wealth of blessings that we should be thankful for.

Think about it... Download this picture, print it out, and keep it somewhere you will be reminded that you live in the greatest country in the history of human civilization. Love this country, make it better, do something positive to improve the world in which you live.

Sorry to say, it was cloudy that day, but still, the picture should download a good enough glimpse of Lady Liberty. I sometimes think that it was better that the day was cloudy. It reminds me that people came from gloom and despair, to the Light of America... Hope, Freedom, and Liberty.

About the Statue

The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York, in the United States. The copper statue, a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886.

The Statue of Liberty is a symbolic representation of the American Independence. It is France’s gift and dedication to the US for the Declaration of the Independence. Thus the Statue is made aptly, depicting the Roman goddess of freedom, Liberta. The Statue, that way also represents friendship, liberty and openness.
