No country is perfect, but we must never give up hope.  Yes there are many things that we must address in our country, but we must start by acknowledging what is already good as we forge ahead with a positive outlook to make the necessary changes that will ultimately guide us to continue to be a blessing to the world!  The maple leaf that we dressed our flag with, is a symbol of healing!

Have a Safe and Blessed Canada Day and remember that this is YOUR country, so take good care of it!
