Giving Thanks in November

I am thankful to be an American. I am so grateful for the privilege it is to have been born in a free country, with freedoms that are guaranteed by a Constitution and Bill of Rights. I'm thankful to live in a country in which the free market economy allows every citizen the opportunity to work hard and make a better life.
And yet, I see all the blessings of being an American under attack daily. Our freedoms are eroding in front of our eyes, our Constitution is being ignored, our free market is being strangled, and our children and grandchildren will not have the same opportunities to make a better life for themselves and their children.
As I think of how fast America is changing and how much work and vigilence is required to fight back against the current trends, I am tempted to despair. But the good news is, my true citizenship is in heaven and heaven cannot be shaken. Unlike our Constitution and our government, which is only as good as the people who serve in Washington and the people who vote them in, the present and future realities of the heavenly realm are guaranteed by Christ Himself, who is the same yesterday, today and forever.
The more things change, the more HE stays the same, and for that I am eternally grateful.
