America is 250 years old! To celebrate, we want to giveaway an American Flag Minky blanket. We came across a post that really spoke to us and we wanted to share it with you.
on Instagram said this,
āThis year we celebrate Americaās 250th. And it has me thinkingā¦We spend a lot of time talking about our rights, but we might be missing something. Our rights are so, so important to discuss and protect, please donāt get me wrong. But we donāt spend nearly as much time talking about our responsibilities. The Constitution protects our freedoms. But a document alone doesnāt keep a country strong. Its people do. The constitution canāt volunteer at your kids school. It canāt check on an elderly neighbor. It canāt welcome the new family down the street. It canāt coach or mentor kids in your neighborhood. Itās the ordinary people who matter. Itās you and me. Itās the ones who stay informed even when itās hard. Itās the one who shows up at the town halls to speak up about issues they are passionate about. Itās the one who works to solve problems instead of just complain about them. We might not change the whole country. But we can change our corner in it. Thatās how communities grow stronger. When we do our part, thatās how America thrives. Maybe citizenship isnāt just something we have, or something we think about every 4th of July. Itās something we practice- day in, day out, month after month, year after year. So for Americaās 250th birthday, donāt just celebrate. Find one small way to strengthen your community. After all, WE have the ultimate responsibility for the success of our nation.ā
