I am learning so much about The Real Thomas Jefferson. Did you know that it took Thomas Jefferson 17 days to write the Declaration of Independence? He would work on it from about 6:00 til midnight. I am so grateful for Thomas Jefferson having had the inspiration in writing the Declaration of Independence, so that we can all be Free!!! ;) And for all the Forefathers that signed it into existence. This has gone through centuries for us to uphold. And we indeed need to do so with respect and reverence. This was a fight for our Freedom and Independence from the British Parliament who was trying to control everyone under a King.
"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political band which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundations on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
Please let us remember in our prayers every night to Thank God for our Freedoms that we have and that we might be worthy to continue to have them!!! ;)
