What Will the Future Hold?

I have been visiting two of my grandchildren the last couple of days. For the most part, these two little ones are full of smiles, and they certainly bring smiles to Grandma and Grumps. However, I cannot help but think about the possibility that their future is very much in doubt. Will they experience a life like mine has been. Will they be blessed with the same kind of freedoms which I have known during my lifetime, or will the government continue it's present course of slowly robbing its citizens of its constitutional rights? Will the America in their future be one typified by free market capitalism, or will it drift into full-fledged socialism....or worse? Will my grandchildren find themselves in country whose debt is so large that it stifles any kind of economic success? Will my grandchildren be able to worship as they please? Will they study the Constitution as an important document, or will it be considered an outdated, irrelevant piece of fiction? Will my granchildren's America be the world leader it is now, or will it have to submit to the wills of other nations? Will it still have sovereign borders? I wish I was more confident about what is ahead of them. I do know that each election we have in this country is an important one. We are always just one generation away from losing our freedom. Let it never be said that I didn't stand up for the principles upon which this country was founded.
