We love the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. In fact, I even have some pictures of "Mary" and "Pa" driving a team of stuffed horses from the table- er, wagon. Enjoy some of Laura's wisdom with us this Fourth of July-
The Declaration and the song came together in her mind, and she thought: God is America's king. She thought: Americans won't obey any king on earth. Americans are free. That means they have to obey their own consciences...
This
is what it means to be free. It means, you have to be good. "Our father's
God, author
of liberty—" The laws of Nature and of Nature's God endow you with a right
to life and liberty. Then you have to keep the laws of God, for God's law is
the only
thing that gives you a right to be free.
Laura Ingalls
