Happy 4th of July!
Our house is proudly waving the flag. When Craig raised the colors yesterday little tears moistened my eyes. But, that was just one of many times yesterday that I felt emotional. As we sang 'America the Beautiful' as the opening song in Sacrament meeting images of patriotic places we have visited and movies I have seen formed a music video in my mind. It happened as we sang later, 'The Star Spangled Banner', and then again as I visited another ward and 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic'.
Here is a clip from my mind's music video
Here is a clip from my mind's music video
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
The Liberty Bell,
Constitution Hall
Gettysburg
The Lincoln Memorial
The National Mall
The Restoring Honor Rally
Arlington Cemetery
Boston, Massachusetts
The war scene from the movie "Friendly Persuasion"
The movie "Gettysburg"
and heroes:
George Washington
Benjamin Franklin
Thomas Jefferson
and other images flashed through my mind:
I am grateful for the great men and women God raised up to form this "the greatest nation on God's green earth." (Michael Medved)
May Images of the FLAG+Singing Patriotic Hymns+ Patriotic Ponderings=
Happy 4th of July to you too!
