Why I Love the USA - Eric - God-given Rights and Striving to Achieve an Ideal

Eric is my step-brother-in-law. He has dedicated his life to preaching the Christian gospel and way of life and to serving in church. Because of this, he and his wife and kids travel often and have moved several times hundreds of miles away from Buffalo to live near churches that needed their help.

Eric reads a lot and enjoys classical literature such as the works of Charles Dickens. He has a logical mind that helps him make compelling arguments for things he believes in, but he also has artistic interests and skills, such as playing the guitar and writing and illustrating children’s books.

When I reached out to ask why Eric loves America, this is what his answer was.

“I love America because of the principle she was founded on. That our rights come from God, not government. That it is the government's responsibility to secure these God-given rights. Despite the stains on her history, America has been a work in progress, striving to achieve the ideal that all men are created equal. From the very beginning of our founding, men and women have advocated to make this a reality, including the man on our 100-dollar bill.”

Thank you, Eric, for sharing, and thank you, all, for reading. I wish you a wonderful day in our beautiful USA. ❤️
