Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, Washington, and the other founders were imperfect men with a vision. Their vision came together to form the greatest experiment in governance ever contrived, yet today our society living abundantly under its success is ignoring, if not rewriting it in ways those men would find unfathomable. Let's come together to restore the vision, and share further in the abundance. God Bless America!
Workout Your Faith is here to help you integrate your Christian faith with your daily life. A positive faith with a wealth of knowledge opens our eyes to the possibilities of living in abundance as God provides for us.

MONDAY MORSEL #13
"And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other , our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
Closing sentence of the Declaration of Independence. What are we willing to pledge to renew their idealism today?

Reflection
Time for reflection seems to get pushed aside in our busy lives. Reflection however is a vital part of growth. By looking back we can see the progress we have made or ground we have lost relative to our goals and dreams.
Reflection also gives us perspective, a word I have used a number of times in previous writings. When we gain a different perspective on things all of a sudden the light bulb goes off in our mind and we often reach greater understanding. For those of us who are Christians we can read a passage of Scripture many times over and then, out of nowhere, we read it and find more meaning.
I was fortunate to spend the early part of this past week in Philadelphia, the birthplace of our nation. Being in the room and on the grounds of what we call Independence Hall was incredible. There is an energy there because we know what came from that meeting place. Though those men held varying views on faith, often at bitter odds, they persisted and put the founding of this republic into God's hands as is evident in our founding documents.
Take a little time this week to reflect on you life, the scriptures, and the founding of our nation. You will recognize that God was, is, and will be present and available seeking to bless us.
Keep the faith, remember that with God we will. . .grow in understanding.
