Happy Constitution Day 2009!

Posted by Terrie Soberg under: Constitution in Peril .

Did you remember that today is Constitution Day? Our constitution was signed by 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention 222 years ago, after many struggles to find a system of government that would endure the troubled times sure to come. I know that the Constitution is inspired of God and the founding fathers were led by His hand to create that document for us. How many of us have a copy on hand, and actually read it?

The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America

We the People of the United States,
in Order to form a more perfect Union,
establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility,
provide for the common defence,
promote the general Welfare,
and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity,
do ordain and establish this Constitution
for the United States of America.

Here is the Schoolhouse Rock version. If you are too young to remember it, you have really missed out! Encourage your children and grandchildren to memorize the Preamble, not because they are required to in school, but because  we all need to understand the principles upon which our great country was established. Our rights are being taken away from us on a daily basis, underneath are noses, and so many people are too blind to see.

Americans need to stand up for our Constitution.  We must keep it in our hearts and know what it says. We must elect goverment officials that use the Constitution to guide their thoughts and decisions. Take time today to express gratitude to God for the blessings He has given us and ask for His divine help in knowing how we can work to preserve the Constitution in our own circles of influence.

May God bless us all!
