Gods Provision and Protection: As Mysteries in faith take place with patience bringing peace Pt 1

Gods Provision and Protection: As Mysteries in faith take place with patience bringing peace Pt 1

The mysteries of Father Almighty are so prevalent that even though some may want to ignore them, some may have doubt, and those who are simply in love. In the last writing, It Takes Courage to Abolish the Barrier Separating Humans from The Presence of God. 

I wanted to share something beautiful from Saturday as we gathered online for Sabbath. As written before, it has been a particular time for family, not only for our generations but also for moms and dads. It is easy to be compliant with our parents and for parents to be compliant with their children. Yet, every minute, even second, our eyes glimpse the events happening. The flow of our life is in a matter of seconds when you see the train of life depart and come to your age, which is one of the wonders and mysteries of God. 

As we prayed just about everything, most of it of being so thankful to our Father Almighty, there was a beautiful vision: a substantial gray rock that stood there, and suddenly, the rock tumbled to the bottom. Where it fell was a round, deep silver platter that received little tiny stones as they lost in the platter. These small rocks that could be seen were pink(mysteries), light blue(faith), some yellow pastel(patience), white(peace), and some gray(doubt).  Gray is doubt; if we translate the colors, it means that mysteries in faith with patience bring peace, having no doubt. There is no rock that Father Almighty can not break; for Him, nothing is impossible. As He breaks the huge rock, many tiny pieces fall into his hands; in the view, many colors are displayed. Father places fragments of different colors in that process where He transforms our hearts for the better; on the platter, there will be doubt; we are human beings, and it is about trusting the process in patience and seeing the new beginning.

The second vision was also beautiful; it complements the first one; we sometimes do not understand much of what God is doing in our lives. Many changes come from different circumstances. Some may have currents come and go; sometimes, we feel they take us in, and some send us far away. Currents which Merriam-Webster defines as “a flow marked by force or strength,” and even if we try to swim against them., it may be unpredictive therefore, we have to accept and adapt to reach the ability to survive and, in the end,,, thrive with triumph, to believe in what we cannot see. -2 Corinthians 5:7, “We walk by faith, and not by sight.”

As one of the sisters in the community was praying, a vision came of a baby boy with an umbilical cord in the amniotic water of the mother’s tummy. I have seen many things, but this one is the first—a baby boy about seven months old moving around in contentment. As a community, boy means good news, a soon-to-be birth. Father changes people; he changes the hard and unbreakable rock into small pieces and touches them so a new birth can happen. As I said before, we sometimes lose our patience; doubts come into our mind; we think a person will never change, a person will never do this or that, He/she will never bond, it will never take place, the beauty is in when the unexpected takes place, and thing starts falling into place, I loved some testimonies when you get to see others smile when changes that Father announced… begin to happen, to accommodate family, children, bond, wonders and miracles take place. We imagine the word miracle as something huge, yet miracles and wonders happen when the little things occur, and wonders take place to complete every single heart. As we pray daily, we ask  Father Almighty for wisdom, intelligence, knowledge, and science to discern and understand all the beauty He has laid in our hearts so we may grow daily and share the message. 

The animal for this week is the manta ray, which symbolizes Manta-Ray symbolizes grace, flow, and calibration. Manta Rays are sensitive to the flow of energy and can help you be more efficient at tapping into this flow and dancing with it. They can show you how to notice the nuances of energetic currents and adjust accordingly so you don’t waste your energy. For Hawaiians, the manta ray is significant in their culture and mythology. The manta ray represents strength, protection, and healing. It is a beautiful message to have the knowledge that he has given and that only Father Almighty can provide, to receive the means every second, the tools, and the ability to share and care. God reminds us through the Manta rays our vastness and depth of divine knowledge and wisdom. They remind us of the importance of moving through life with grace and humility.

The second animal, The barracuda, is a powerful and fierce animal that symbolizes aggression, speed, and agility. It is often associated with fearlessness, determination, and the ability to overcome obstacles swiftly.

The words “Endure Patiently” which defined by Merriam-Webster means. Endure means “to remain firm under suffering or misfortune without yielding,” and Patience means “bearing pains or trials calmly or without complaint.” This brings me back to the title, Divine Steadfastness writing, which was “to be firm and unwavering. The Bible uses the word steadfast, which means to be firm and unwavering in your faith. As Christians, we should be firm in what we believe. If we are, we won’t allow ourselves to be moved when we face trials or difficulties.”

Uniting the words: “A Breath, a reminder to pause, contemplate, ruminate and praise. A form of language that doesn’t have any metrical structure to it. It isn’t the fast-moving action of narrative, nor is it the metered, imaginative language of poetry. The arrangement or preparation beforehand as for the doing of something, the meeting of needs, the supplying of needs, to see ahead in advance or beforehand providing manna and it encompasses more than mere physical safety; it encompasses safeguarding our hearts, minds, and souls. Protection is found in the arms of our Heavenly Father, who shields us from harm and guides us through life’s challenges.”

Loved this excerpt from Founders Midwest “Faithfulness means steadfast loyalty that isn’t easily swayed. Our faithfulness to God means trusting in Him and loving Him through all circumstances.It means following His commandments even when we’d rather choose a different path.”

From the Bible: BibleGateway

James 1:17 says, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the father of lights in whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

Job 23:10-12 MSG

“But he knows where I am and what I’ve done. He can cross-examine me all he wants, and I’ll pass the test with honors. I’ve followed him closely, my feet in his footprints, not once swerving from his way. I’ve obeyed every word he’s spoken, and not just obeyed his advice—I’ve treasured it.

1 Thessalonians 5:4-8 MSG

But friends, you’re not in the dark, so how could you be taken off guard by any of this? You’re sons of Light, daughters of Day. We live under wide open skies and know where we stand. So let’s not sleepwalk through life like those others.

Philippians 2:15-16 MSG

14-16 Do everything readily and cheerfully—no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night so I’ll have good cause to be proud of you on the day that Christ returns. You’ll be living proof that I didn’t go to all this work for nothing

Proverbs 18:10-13 The Message (MSG)

GOD’s name is a place of protection— good people can run there and be safe. The rich think their wealth protects them; they imagine themselves safe behind it. Pride first, then the crash, but humility is precursor to honor.

Ephesians 5:8-10 MSG

8-10 You groped your way through that murk once, but no longer. You’re out in the open now. The bright light of Christ makes your way plain. So no more stumbling around. Get on with it! The good, the right, the true—these are the actions appropriate for daylight hours. Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it.

Messages come in many different ways…

“ Selected Presidential Speeches”

Woodrow Wilson 

Speech presenting the League of Nations to the Senate 

1913-1921 

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“They were freedom under arms, not forgetting their ideals of duty in the midst of tasks of violence. I am proud to have had the privilege of being associated with them and calling myself their leader. I speak of what they meant to the men by whose sides they fought and to the people with whom they mingled with such utter simplicity. Simplicity, as friends who asked only to be at service, they were for all visible embodiments of America; what they did made America and all that she stood for a living reality in thought not only of the people of France but also tens of millions of men and women throughout all the toiling nations of a world standing everywhere in peril of its freedom and the loss of everything it held dear, in deadly fear that it bonds were never to be loosed, it hopes forever to be mocked and disappointed and the compulsion of what they stood for was upon us who represented America at the peace table. It was our duty to see to it that every decision we took part in contributed, so far as we were able to influence it to quiet the fears and realizr the hopes of the people who had been living in that shadow had been living in that shadow. The nations that had come by our assistance to their freedom. It was our duty to do everything it was within our power to do, to make the triumph of freedom and the right of a lasting triumph in the assurance that men might everywhere live without fear. Old entanglements that contemplated any dispositions of territory and extension of sovereignty that might seem to the interest of those who had power to insist upon them had been entered into without thought of what the peoples concerned might wish or profit by, and these could not always be honorable brushed aside.”

Andrew Jackson 

Nullification Proclamation 

1829-1837

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“The constitution of the United States, then forms a goverment not a league; and whether it be formed by compact between states or in in any other manner , its character is the same. It is a goverment in which all people are represented, which operates directly on the people individually, not upon the states, they retained all power , they did not grant. But each state, having expressly parted with so many pavers as to constitute, jointly with other states, a single nation, cannot, from the period, posses any right to seced, because such secession does not break a league , but destrys the unity of a nation and any injury to that unity is not only a breach which would result from the contraversion of a compact , but it is an offence against the whole union. To say any state may at pleasure secede from a union is to say that the United States  are not a nation, because, it would be a solecism to content that any part of a nation might dissolve its connection with the other parts, to theyr injury of rum without committing any offense secession, like any other revolutionary act, may be morally justified by the extremity of expression, but to call it constitutional right is confounding the meeting of terms, and can only be done through gross error or to deceive those who are willing to assert a right, but would pause before the made a revolution  or incur the penalties consequent on a failure. Because the union ws formed by a compact, it is said the parties to that compact may, when they feel themselves aggrieved, depart from it; but it is precisly because it is a compact that can not. A compact is n agreement or binding obligation. It may be its term have a sanction, it may be broken with no other consequence than moral guilt. If it have a sanction, then the breach incurs, the designated or implied penalty. A league between independent nation generally has no sanction other than a moral one , or if it should contain a penalty as there us no common superior it can not be enforced. A government, on the contrary, always has a sanction, express implied, and in our case it is both, implied and expressly given. An attempt, by force of arms, to destroy a government is an offense  by whatever means the constitutional compact may have been formed and such government has the right by the law of self defense to pass acts for punishing the offender , unless that right is modified, restrained or resumed by constitutional act. In our system although it is modified in the case of treason, yet authority is expressly given to pass all laws necessary to carry it powers into effect and under this grant provision has been made for punishing  acts which obstruct the due administration of the laws.

Harry S.Truman

Statement by the President Annoucing the dropping of the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima

1945-1953

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“For most Americans, the answer is quite simple: we are not that way. We are moral people. Peace is our goal with justice and freedom. We cannot, of our own free will, violate the very principles that we are striving to defend. The whole purpose of what we are doing is to prevent  WWIII. Starting a war is no way to make peace. But if anyone thinks that just this once, bad means can bring good ends, then let me remind you of this: We are living in the eighth year of the atomic age. We are not the only nation that is learning to unleash the power of the atom. A third world war might dig the grave not only of our Communist Opponents but also of our society, our world, as well as theirs. 

John Quincy Adams 

Inaugural Address

1825-1829

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“There still remains one effort of magnanimity, one sacrifice of prejudice and passion, to be made by the individuals throughout the nation who heretofore followed the standards of political party. It is that discarding every remnant of rancor against each other , of embracing as countrymen and friends, and of yielding to talents and virtue alone that confidence which in times of contention for principle was bestowed only upon those who bore the badge of party communion. The collisions of party spirit, which originate in speculative opinions or in different views of administrative policy, are in nature transitory. Those which are founded on geographical divisions, the adverse interest in soil, climate, and modes of domestic life are more permanent and, therefore, perhaps, more dangerous. It is this which gives inestimable value to the character of our government, at once federal and national. It holds out to us a perpetual admonition to preserve alike and with equal anxiety the rights of each individual State in its own government and the rights of the whole nation in that of the Union.”

Martin Van Buren 

Inaugural Address 

1837-1841

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“This provident forecast has been verified by time. Half a century, teeming with extraordinary events and elsewhere producing astonishing results, has passed along, but on our institutions, it has left no injurious mark. From a small community, we have risen to a people powerful in numbers and in strength, but with our increase, the progress of just principles has gone hand in hand. The privileges, civil and religious, of the humblest individual are still sacredly protected at home. While the valor and fortitude of our people have removed far from us the slightest apprehension of a foreign power, they have not yet induced us in a single instance to forget what is right. Our commerce has been extended to the remotest nations; the value and even nature of our productions have been greatly changed; a wide difference has arisen in the relative wealth and resources of every portion of our country, yet the spirit of mutual regard and of faithful adherence to existing compacts has continued to prevail in our councils and never long been absent from our conduct. We have learned by experience a fruitful lesson-that an implicit and undeviating adherence to the principles on which we set out can carry us prosperously onward through all the conflicts of circumstances and vicissitudes inseparable from the lapse of years.”

James Buchanan 

Special Messsage from the President 

1857-1861

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“But the dangerous and hostile attitude of the States toward each other has already far transcended and cast in the shade the ordinary executive duties already provided for by law, and has assumed such vast aand alarming proportions as to place the subject entirely above and beyond Executive control. The fact can not be disguised that we are midst of a great revolution. In all its various bearings, therefore, I commend the question to Congress as the only human tribunal under Providence possessing the power to meet the existing emergency. To them exclusively belongs the power to declare war or to authorize the employment of military force in all cases contemplated by the Constitution, and they alone possess the power to remove grievances that might lead to war and to secure peace and union to this distracted country. On them, and them alone, rests the responsibility.”

Chester A. Arthur 

Address Upon Assuming the Office of the President 

1851-1885

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“The wisdom of our fathers, foreseeing even the most dire possibility, made sure that the government should never be imperiled because of uncertainty of human life. Men may die, but the fabrics of our free institutions remain unshaken. No higher or more assuring proof could exist of the strength and permanence of popular government than the fact that though the chosen people be struck down, his constitutional successor is peacefully installed without shock or strain except the sorrow which mourns the bereavement. All the noble aspirations of my lamented predecessor which found expression in his life, the measures devised and suggested during his brief  Administration to correct abuses, to enforce the economy, to advance prosperity, and to promote the general welfare, to ensure domestic security, and maintain friendly and honorable relations with the nations of the earth, will be garnered in the hearts of the people, and it will be my earnest endeavor to profit, and to see that the nation shall profit, by his and experience.”

Benjamin Harrison 

Inaugural Address

1889-1893

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“The virtues of courage and patriotism have given recent proof of their continued presence and increasing power in the hearts and over the lives of our people. The influences of religion have been multiplied and strengthened. The sweet offices of charity have greatly increased. The virtue of temperance is held in higher estimation. We have yet to attain an ideal condition. Not all of our people are happy and prosperous; not all of them are virtuous and law-abiding. But on the whole the opportunities offered to the individual to secure the comforts of life are better than are found elsewhere and largely better than they were here one hundred years ago.”

While a Treasury surplus us not the greatest evil, it is a serious evil. Our revenue should be ample to meet the ordinary annual demands upon our treasury, with a sufficient margin for those extraordinary but scarcely less imperative demands that arise now and then. Expenditure should always be made with the economy and only upon public necessity. Wastefulness, profligacy, or favoritism in public expenditures is criminal. But there is nothing in the condition of our country or of our people to suggest that anything presently necessary to the public prosperity, security, or honor should be unduly postponed. It will be the duty of Congress wisely to forecast and estimate these extraordinary demands and, having added them to our ordinary expenditures, to so adjust our revenue laws so that no considerable annual surplus will remain. We will, fortunately, be able to apply to the redemption of the public debt any small or unforeseen excess of revenue. This is better than reducing our income below our necessary expenditures, with the resulting choice between another change of our revenue laws and an increase of the public debt. It is quite possible, I am sure, to effect the necessary reduction  in our revenues without breaking down our protective tariff or seriously injuring any domestic industry. The construction of a sufficient number of modern warships and of their necessary armament should progress as rapidly as is consistent with care and perfection in plans and workmanship. The spirit, courage, and skill of our naval officers and seamen have, many times in our history, given weak ships and inefficient guns a rating greatly beyond that of the naval list. That they will again do so upon occasion I do not doubt; but they ought not, by premeditation or neglect, to be left to the risk and exigencies of an unequal combat.”

Gerald Ford 

Remarks on the pardoning of Richard Nixon 

Remarks of Tulane University 

1974-1977

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“I recognize the need for technology that enriches life while preserving our natural environment. My goal is to estimulate productivity, but use technology to redeem, not to destroy our environment.

We must learn more about people, the development of communities, architecture, engineering, education, motivation, productivity, public health and medicine, arts and sciences, and political, legal, and social organization. All of these specialties and many,many more are required if young people like you are to help this Nation develop an agenda for our future, your future, and our Country’s future. I challenge, for example in this audience to put on their agenda the achievement for a cure fir cancer. I challenge the engineers in this audience to devise new techniques for developing cheap, clean, plentiful energy and a byproduct to control floods. I challenge law students in this audience to find ways to speed the administration of equal justice and make good citizens out of convicted criminals. I challenge education majors in this audience to do real teaching for real life. I challenge the art majors in this audience to compose the great American symphony, to write the great American novel, and to enrich and inspire our daily lives. America’s leadership is essential. America’s resources are vast. America’s opportunities are unprecedented. As we strive together to perfect a new agenda, I put high on the list of important points, the maintenance of alliances and partnerships with other people and other nations. These provide a basis for shared value, even as we stand up with determination for what we believe. This, of course, requires a continuance commitment to peace and determination to use our good offices wherever possible  wherever possible to promote better relations between nations of this world.”

Ronald Reagan 

Remarks on East -West at the Brandenburg Gate 

1981-1989

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“At the talks of Geneva, we have also proposed deep cut strategies offensive weapons. And the Western allies have likewise made far-reaching proposals to reduce the danger of conventional war and to place a total ban on chemical weapons. While we pursue these arms reductions, I pledge to you that we will maintain the capacity to deter Soviet aggression at any level at which it might occur. And in cooperation with many of our allies, The United States is persuing the Strategic Defense Initiative -research to base deference not on the threat of offensive retaliation but on defenses that truly defend;on systems, in short, that will not target  populations, but shield them. By these means we seek to increase the safety of Europe and all the world. But, we must remember a crucial fact: East and West do not mistrust each other. And our differences are not about weapons but about liberty. When President Kennedy spoke at the City Hall  those 24 years ago , freedom was encircled, Berlin was in siege. And freedom itself is transforming the globe.”

George H. W.  Bush 

Inaugural Address 

1989-1993

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“Great nations, like great men, must keep their word. When America says something, America means it, whether a treaty or an agreement, or a vow made on marble steps. We will always try to speak clearly, for candor is a compliment, but subtly, too, is good and has its place. While keeping our alliances and friendships around the world strong, ever strong, we will continue the new closeness with the Soviet Union, consistent both with our security and with progress. One might say that our new relationship partly reflects the triumph of hope and strength over experience. But hope is good, and so is strength and vigilance.” 

The U.N. framework’s conception of climate change commences with stabilizing concentration at a level that prevents dangerous human interference with the climate , but no one knows what that level is . The United States has spent 18 billion on climate research since 1990 -three times as much as any other country , more than Japan and all nations of the EU combined. Today , I make our investment in science even greater. My administration will establish the U.S. Climate Change Research Initiative to study areas of uncertainty and identify priority  areas where investments can make a difference. I am directing my Secretary of Commerce, working with other agencies, to set priorities for additional investments in climate change science over the next five years. We’ll also provide resources to build climate observation systems in developing countries and encourage other developed nations to match our American commitment. And we propose a joint venture with the EU, Japan, and others to develop state-of-the-art climate modeling that will help us better understand the causes and impacts of climate change. America is the leader in technology and innovation. We all believe in technology and innovation. We all believe technology offers great promise significantly reduces emissions -especially carbon capture, storage, and sequestration technologies. 

Barack Obama 

First Inaugural Address 

Remarks at Newton Highschoolin Newtown Conneticut, During an Interfaith Prayer Vigil After the Mass Shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School 

2009-2017

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“This is a journey we continue today; we remain the most prosperous, powerful nation. Our workers are no less productive than when the crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, and our goods and services are no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat,of protecting narrow interests and putting unpleasant decisions- that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin again the work of remaking America.

For everywhere we look, there is work that needs to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold, swift, and we will act- not only to create new jobs but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality  and lower its costs. We will harness the sun and the winds, and the soil to fuel our cars and run over factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do.

The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works-whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, or a retirement that is dignified retirement. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, program will end . And those of us who manage the public dollar will be held to account, spend wisely , reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.”

“Let it be told to the future world…that in depth of winter when nothing but hope and virtue can survive …that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet it.” 

America. In the face of common dangers, in this winter of hardship, let me know your timeless words =. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children’s children that when we are tested, we refused to let the journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter and with eyes fixed on the horizon and Gods grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.Thank you and God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America”

Donald J Trump 

Inaugural Address 

2017-2022

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people. Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come. We will face challenges.”

“We stand at the birth of a new millennium ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries, and technology of tomorrow.”

“At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.”

“When America is united, America is totally unstoppable. There should be no fear -we are protected, and we will always be protected”

“We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly by God”

Joseph R. Biden 

Remarks on the United Efforts of the Free World to Support the People of Ukraine 

2021-

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“In my own country, a former president named Abraham Lincoln voiced the opposing spirit to save our Union in the midst of a civil war . He said: “ Let us have faith that right makes might”. Today let us have that faith again. Let us resolve to put the strength of democracies into action to thwart the designs of autocracy. Let us remember  that the test of this moment is the test of all time..”

“Over the long term, as a matter of economic security amd national security and the survivability of the planet, we all need to move as quickly as possible to clean, renewable energy.”

It is not enough to speak with rhetorical flourish, of enabling words of democracy, of freedom, equality and liberty. All of us including herein Polland,must do hard work of democracy each and every day. My country as well.

“That is why I came to Europe again this week with a clear and determined message for NATO, the G7, the European Union, and all freedom-loving nations. We must commit now to being in this fight for the long haul. We must remain unified today, tomorrow, the day after, and for the years and decades to come.”

“Let’s remember: The hammer blow that brought down the Berlin Wall, the might that lifted the Iron Curtain were not the words of a single leader; it was the people of Europe who, for decades, fought to free themselves.”

“So in this hour, let the words of Pope John Paul burn brightly today: “Never, ever give up hope, never doubt, never tire, never become discouraged. Be not afraid.”

Dwight D Eisenson

Speech  Before the American Society of Newspaper Editors

Farewell Address

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“This we do know : a world that begins to witness rebirth of trust among nations can find its way to a peace  that is neither Partial  nor punitive.”

“With all who will work in good faith toward such peace, we are ready with renewed resolve, to strive to redeem the near -lost hopes of our day. 

Lyndon B Johnson

Remarks at the University of Michigan 

Special Message to Congress on the Right Vote

1963-1969

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“The purpose of protecting the life of our nation and preserving the liberty of our citizens is to pursue the happiness of our people. Our success in that persuit is the test of our success as a Nation.”

“For a century, we labored to settle and to subdue a continent. For half of a century we called upon unbounded invention and untiring industry to create an order of plenty for all our people.”

“The challenge of the next half century is whether we have the wisdom to use wealth to enrich and elevate our national life and advance the quality of American civilization.”

“Your imagination, your initiative , and your indignation will determine whether we build a society where progress is a servant of our needs, or a society where old values and new visions are buried under unbridled growth. For in your time we have the opportunity to move not only torward the rich society and the powerful society, but upwardto the great society. The great society rests on abundance and liberty for all. It demands an end to poverty and racial injustice, to which we are totally committed in our time. But that is just the begining.”

The Great Society is a place where every child can find knowledge to enrich their mind and enlarge their talents. It is a place where leisure is welcome chance to build and reflect, not feared cause of boredom and restleness. It is a place where the city man serves not only the needs of the body and the demands of commerce but also the desire for beauty and hunger for community. It is a place where man can renew contact with nature. It is a place that honors creation for its own sake and for what it adds to the understanding of race. It is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goals than the quantity of their goods.”

“So I want to talk about three places where we begin to build a Great Society-in our cities, in our countryside, and in our classrooms.”

John F Kennedy

Inaugural Address 

Report to the American people on Civil Rights

Remarks in the Rudolph Wilde Platz, Berlin 

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“Two thousand years ago the proudest boast was “civis Romanus sum.”Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is “Ich bin ein Berliner”

There are many people in the world who really do not understand, or say they don’t, what is the great issue between the free world and the communist world. Let them come to Berlin. There are some that say that communism is the wave of the future. Let them come to Berlin. There are some that say in Europe and elsewhere we can work with the Communist. Let them come to Berlin. And there some that say it is true that communism is an evil system, but it permits us to make economic progress. Lass’ sie nach Berlin Kommen. Let them come to Berlin

Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect, but we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in, to prevent them from leaving us. I want to say, on behalf of my countrymen, who live many miles away on the other side of the Atlantic, who are far distant from you, that they take the greatest pride that they have been able to share with you, even from a distance, the story of the last 18 years. I know of no town, no city, that has been besieged for 18 years that still lives with the vitality and the force, and the hope and the determination of the city of West Berlin. While the wall is the most obvious and vivid demonstration of the failures of the Communist system, for all the world to see, we take no satisfaction in it, for it is, as your Mayor has said, an offense not only against history but an offense against humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives and brothers and sisters, and dividing a people who wish to be joined together.

What is true of this city is true of Germany–real, lasting peace in Europe can never be assured as long as one German out of four is denied the elementary right of free men, and that is to make a free choice. In 18 years of peace and good faith, this generation of Germans has earned the right to be free, including the right to unite their families and their nation in lasting peace, with good will to all people. You live in a defended island of freedom, but your life is part of the main. So let me ask you as I close, to lift your eyes beyond the dangers of today, to the hopes of tomorrow, beyond the freedom merely of this city of Berlin, or your country of Germany, to the advance of freedom everywhere, beyond the wall to the day of peace with justice, beyond yourselves and ourselves to all mankind.

Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free. When all are free, then we can look forward to that day when this city will be joined as one and this country and this great Continent of Europe in a peaceful and hopeful globe. When that day finally comes, as it will, the people of West Berlin can take sober satisfaction in the fact that they were in the front lines for almost two decades.

All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words “Ich bin ein Berliner.””

Message Regarding Presidential Election

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“In all periods of History, controversies have arisen as to the succession or choice of chiefs of states, and no party or citizens loving their country and its free institution can sacrifice too much of mere feeling in preserving through the upright course of law their country from the smallest danger to its peace on such an ocassion, and it cannot be impressed too firmly in the hearts of all people that true liberty and real progress can only exist only through a cheerful adherence to constitutional law.”

George H. W. Bush 

Inaugural Address

Jan 20 1989

An excerpt from Selected Presidential Speeches

“And my first act as President is a prayer. I ask you to bow your heads:

Heavenly Father, we bow our heads and thank You for Your love. Accept our thanks for the peace that yields this day and the shared faith that makes its continuance likely. Make us strong to do Your work, willing to heed and hear Your will, and write on our hearts these words: “Use power to help people.” For we are given power not to advance our own purposes, nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power, and it is to serve people. Help us to remember it, Lord. Amen.

I come before you and assume the Presidency at a moment rich with promise. We live in a peaceful, prosperous time, but we can make it better. For a new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn; for in man’s heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over. The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree. A new breeze is blowing, and a nation refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on. There is new ground to be broken, and new action to be taken. There are times when the future seems thick as a fog; you sit and wait, hoping the mists will lift and reveal the right path. But this is a time when the future seems a door you can walk right through into a room called tomorrow.

Great nations of the world are moving toward democracy through the door to freedom. Men and women of the world move toward free markets through the door to prosperity. The people of the world agitate for free expression and free thought through the door to the moral and intellectual satisfactions that only liberty allows.”
