Tomorrow is Canada Day. We celebrate another year of blessings in our country. We stand at attention and proudly sing out our National Anthem.
How many of us stop and think about what we sing so dearly, so clearly: “God keep our land, glorious and free.”
Really?
God keep our land?
Glorious and free?
How many proud Canadians still believe this?
Still live as if this is true?
Canada – a country where, according to many, our rights and freedoms are gradually being eroded.
Canada – a country where, according to many, the poor are being forgotten, the homeless abandoned, and the aboriginals neglected.
Canada – a country where, according to many, our core values are being changed.
Canada – a country where, according to many, our respected position on the world stage is diminishing.
We look around and see diversity everywhere. And that is good. We were created to be different, unique. But we were also created to live in harmony, to worship together, to be brothers and sisters. How are we living up to that?
This Canada Day, when we sing “God keep our land,” let’s make it a heart-felt prayer.
Happy Canada Day.
