July 4

Greetings: God bless you this day!

Happy 4th of July!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

It is to the United States that all free men look for the

light and hope of the world. Unless we dedicate ourselves

completely to this struggle, unless we combat hunger with

food, fear with trust, suspicion with faith,  fraud with justice 

and threats with power, nations will surrender to the futility 

and panic, on which wars are fed. (General Omar Bradley)

SCRIPTURE:

You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.

1 Corinthians 7:23

Freedom is not free! It was bought at a price. Did you ever read what

happened to the men who signed the Declaration of Independence?

Think of the many women and men that have died since to keep this

country free. Salvation is not free either. It was bought at a price. 

The blood of Jesus!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

June 14

Greetings: God bless you this Lord's Day!

Today is Flag Day. Be sure to fly your flag.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

As you teach their lips to pray,

Teach them always to be true

To the red, the white, and blue;

Praise the Flag from day to day,

Tell the children at your knee

All the joys of liberty.

(Edgar A. Guest)

SCRIPTURE:

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,

Plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give 

you hope for the future. Jeremiah 29:11

For well adjusted adults, we should teach our children and

grandchildren to love God, be thankful for our freedom and

respect the symbols of our freedom!

OUR FLAG

She flies over our nation

With such glory and pride.

She honors the graves

Of those who have died.

She flies over ships

Far out to sea.

She's a symbol of freedom,

For you and for me.

She drapes over the casket

Of brave, fallen women and men,

She goes into battle

Through the thick and the thin.

She wears her colors proudly,

Even, when thrown to the ground.

She's been ripped and been burned

And been tossed all around.

She still flies proud and stately,

So tried and so true,

Our marvelous flag...

The red, white and blue.

Blessings-Freda
