and to the Republic, for which it stands;
one nation UNDER GOD,
indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.
Prayers going up
Salute! Too!
Thanks for introducing us to another great American hero! He is a real stand-out! :)
Sometimes our minds run back through the years and yearn for that better time and placethe good old days.
But for some, the past harbors only bitter memories. Deep in the night, they ponder their own failures, disillusionments, and fantasies, and think of the cruel hand life has dealt them.
Its better to remember the past as David did, by contemplating the good that God has done, to meditate on all [His] works; . . . muse on the work of [His] hands (Ps. 143:5). As we call to mind the lovingkindness of the Lord, we can see His blessings through the years. These are the memories that foster the highest good. They evoke a deep longing for more of God and more of His tender care. They transform the past into a place of familiarity and fellowship with our Lord.
I heard a story about an elderly woman who would sit in silence for hours in her rocking chair, hands folded in her lap, eyes gazing off into the far distance. One day her daughter asked, Mother, what do you think about when you sit there so quietly? Her mother replied softly with a twinkle in her eye, Thats just between Jesus and me.
I pray that our memories and meditations would draw us into His presence.
Read: Psalm 143:1-6
