America is a beautiful country! We have tall mountains, wide rivers, green forests, and golden fields. God made it all!

There is a song called 'America the Beautiful' that talks about our purple mountains and amber waves of grain. These are the beautiful things God put in our land.

From the Atlantic Ocean on one side to the Pacific Ocean on the other side, America is filled with God's creation — deserts, lakes, meadows, and beaches!

We should thank God every day for giving us such a beautiful country to live in. 'God shed His grace on thee' — that means God has blessed America!
