One of the more controversial phrases in the USA these days is “Make America Great Again”.  I am not going to discuss the pros or cons of this political marketing philosophy, but I do want to consider a portion of this statement that prompts – How Do We Make America Great?  This question is not just for Americans, it is for all people who care about their community.  Making a country great does not involve choosing one political party over another.  Making a great nation does not merely rely on voting in an election (then reserving the right to complain about things that don’t go our way).  The making of a great nation starts with a grass roots movement of caring for one another.  It is about taking the initiative to do what is right under the law and what is best for our neighbors (whether they live across the street or across the continent).  Making a great nation is not a slogan, it is a commitment.
Most of the Americans I know (and frankly most of the people I know from around the world) have the ability to make their homeland better than they found it.  By expressing good will and demonstrating social responsibility we can take our nation to the next level.  Thousands of years ago, God put His mission this way, “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from My sight.  Cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, reprove the ruthless, defend the orphan, plead for the widow.”  (Isaiah 1:16-17).  You know, this might be just the place to start to making America (or any nation) great!
Think About It!
