Life is a Banquet of Opportunities

July is special to just about all Americans…as it should be. Yes, business is up and thankfully, landscape projects are in at a rate that fills the workload. This is due in part to the COVID pandemic slowly approaching the exit door because of the vaccination program.

I believe that July 4th stands as a fresh beacon of light at this time especially. And it symbolizes what our great nation has done to guarantee our liberties and freedoms, as our forefathers conceived as necessary in hammering out our Constitution. I’m sure that the present and future welfare of their wives and families had a lot to do with some of these decisions.

July 4th is a celebration to recall what the men and women envisioned for our nation: one filled with honor, patriotism, and love of country. All of us as Americans should hold fast to our Constitution and our Bill of Rights as set forth. When my great grandparents came to the United States, I was told they cried with tears of happiness and joy. Our country is not perfect, but it is light years ahead of whatever country is in second place.

This is a time for solidarity and love for America. I know we have all read and heard our “politicians” trying to add to or change our Constitution or Bill of Rights or give away some of the rights these documents bestow upon us. It’s a shame! Our lives are full of opportunities and fulfillments. Those who mouth words of disrespect for America have their heads in the trash can of life.

Our lives are precious. Each is full of opportunities and possibilities while on life’s journey. We are co-creators with our Maker, hand in hand. We all know that especially in our professions…life is precious!
