God helps those who help themselves. If we want something to happen, we must help make it happen.

When something is gotten for nothing, it is seldom appreciated and often expected again.

Lord Knows I Love This Country By Franklin Price 2/28/2017 Lord knows I love this Country This great U.S. Of A. Because I love it so much I have these words to say This is the land of promise Whether we believe or not Belief has put us where we are Provided what we've got Complaining by the wayside Thinking woe is me Will not help us or our country To be what we should be Begin first by believing There is a better way If we work to make it happen Tomorrow is a better day
