A promise to future children

I have been persuaded to publish the letter below.  It is intended as a letter to future generations.  Perhaps others will find some inspiration to write their own in kind.

To my future children:

The opening salvo in the war against the few remaining shreds of man’s freedom in the United States has commenced.  This shot across the bow has scattered the millions once galvanized against the tyrannical destruction of what was once called the American Dream – not the right to own a home, earn a living, or be made equal with your neighbors by way of social justice, but the chance to fully develop yourself into the person you choose to become, whoever that might be.  You were made with your own individual abilities, unique from everyone else.  You were made to succeed in your own way.  You were made from God’s stock.

Sadly, the American Dream, as it once existed, is dead.  It has been replaced with government dependence in the form of handouts to the undeserving, a restructuring of the family to value “all” families, whether assembled as God intended or not, and a lust for power by a self-established elite class under the guise of maintaining the social welfare.  Liberties have been sacrificed to the god of government all too willingly, and the People have accepted the pittance doled out to them that is just sizable enough to keep them quiet.  The liberties so many had hoped you would enjoy are fading.

In order to guarantee the freedoms of your future, I promise to lead the charge against this.

I promise that you will never be alone in this life.  I love you, your mother loves you, and your Father in Heaven loves you the most.

I promise that I will look to our family and to God for guidance on the important things in life, and not to government.

In the same regard, I promise to teach you to be independent and responsible for yourself.  You will never be dependent on a political party, group of friends, or anyone else to do your thinking for you.

I promise to always be in honorable pursuit of God’s will, wherever that may lead.

I promise to lead this family through all things, good and bad, with the close counsel and guidance of your mother.

I promise to love your mother as best as I am able and to set the best example I can for you of the way that Christ loves his Church.

I promise to take responsibility for the consequences of our own decisions.  If a correction of course is required, a correction will be made, no matter how difficult.

I promise to never give up, no matter how daunting the battle may be.

I promise to provide for you as long as I am able.  I promise that by the time I am unable, you will be prepared to provide for yourself.

I promise that you will be made ready to tackle the storms of this life.  Help others through their storms.  Use these victories to build up treasures in Heaven.

I promise that you can always rely on me.  When you have exceeded the limits of my ability, I promise that you can rely on God.

Build up your Heavenly defenses now.  Darker days are certain to come.

I promise to let you fail.  I promise also to be there when you have picked yourself up, dusted yourself off, and learned from your mistakes.  I promise you will be better for it.

I promise to punish you when necessary.  I promise it will be out of love.

I promise that the two most powerful words in any language are I AM.  Use them.  I AM _____.  Fill the blank in yourself.  If you don’t, someone else will.

Always stand where the Lord tells you to stand, especially when it makes you uncomfortable.  Be sure to keep your eyes open for miracles – they happen, you just have to pay attention.

Everything you need to be happy in life is contained within the walls of your home.  It eats with you, talks with you, and loves you.  God and family are the only things of any lasting value.

I promise that America is very much God’s country, too.  Keep her on the right track.  This will not be an easy task, but I promise it will be one worth pursuing.

I promise that the shining city on the hill still exists, although today it is covered by layers of grime and filth, perpetuated by our own negligence.  It is high time that we take to the streets with our families, friends, and neighbors, and scrub and polish until the American Dream once again shines as a beacon of hope to the world, visible from even the darkest shores.  America is at her best when she leads faithfully and compassionately.  She is at her best when she shines.

To this end, I resolve myself to keep up the fight.  This day, I too, with a firm reliance on divine Providence, pledge my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor, so that you also will have the opportunity to live in freedom.

With love,
M

  1. When my kids were little, I was told that my job as a mom was to work my way out of a job -- and I had 18 years to so it. She then said, if your child is 6 years old, you're a third of the way done. How are you doing? It's a good goal to have to teach your children independence.
