July 3rd

I know I'm starting a day early but...

I love the music played on the 4th...the hymns and marches always manage to stir my heart. From the Battle Hymn of the Republic to the 1812 Overture (yes, by the Boston Pops on the side of the river complete with fireworks and cannon). In honor of Independence Day I wanted to print one of my favorite "patriotic" verses

Our Father's God to Thee,
Author of liberty, to Thee we sing;
long may our land be bright, with freedoms holy light;
protect us by Thy might, Great God, Our King.
(My Country 'Tis of Thee)

It says it all to me...we are blessed to live in this land and this land is blessed by God our Father. May we, as a nation, ever seek His face...
