“The Hope of America”
“The Hope of America”
By Jerry Stewart
There’s a lot of talk today in our America about this word, “hope”. Some believe that our hope is in one political party or in one person. But where should our hope be? Consider these words of Abraham Lincoln. He has been named the most successful president in our U.S. history.
It was over 150 years ago when our nation divided and our Civil War took so many brave American lives. During that terrible time, President Lincoln had one hope, one desire – to save America. But his hope was not based on shallow dreams or wishful thinking. His hope was based on concepts and ideals and principles and a faith in Someone he knew to be bigger than him; principles and ideals which would, with God’s help, save our America.
