Before all else, we seek, upon our common labor as a nation, the blessings of Almighty God.

Not the stars, not the farthest solar systems, not the millions of different species of animal life, but the child is the greatest of God's creations.

There have been times in my life when I wondered about God's existence. When Prince smiles, when Paris giggles, I have no doubts.

God gives us things to share, God doesn't give us things to hold.

From this day forward, the millions of our school children will daily proclaim in every city and town, every village and rural school house, the dedication of our nation and our people to the Almighty. To anyone who truly loves America, nothing could be more inspiring than to contemplate this rededication of our youth, on each school morning, to our country's true meaning.

Every day I feel is a blessing from God. And I consider it a new beginning. Yeah, everything is beautiful.
